The Cast-Off Substitute Consort: The Emperor's White Moonlight

Because her face closely resembles that of the emperor's deceased white moonlight, Shen Qingci is brought into the imperial palace by Emperor Xiao Che and showered with favor. But the gifts belong to someone else, the deep affection is meant for someone else, and even the name murmured in the dead of night belongs to someone else. She is merely a carefully kept substitute, living in another woman's shadow.

When the illusion shatters and her sincerity is trampled, Shen Qingci resolutely sheds her disguise. Using her mask as a shield and old feelings as a blade, she plots in secret amid the palace's deadly intrigues. She is determined not only to survive the schemes, but to live as herself.

The abandoned consort of old reveals her true brilliance, making the cold emperor see the woman before him for the first time. When he finally comes to his senses and tries to chase after her resolute figure, he discovers that he has already fallen into the web of love he wove himself...

This is a palace power struggle about substitutes and true selves, tortured love and awakening. Watch the heroine rise from the ashes as a heartbroken, discarded consort and send the heartless emperor into a “chasing your wife to the crematorium” arc.
