The newly crowned emperor Zhao Chongjing married his wife Bai Yueguang.
Yang Shuwang, the intelligent and beautiful daughter of the Taifu, was the queen he personally selected. The young couple played the piano and the harp in harmony, and she gave birth to his eldest son, thus consolidating the imperial power.
But he didn't know that this would be their last good time.
When Bai Yueguang died due to dystocia, the emperor began to search frantically for her shadow in the harem——
The arrogant Qingmei committed suicide for him, the horse-taming girl was favored because of her guilt, the weak Bailian rose to power by imitating her, and the stubborn and bright nobleman became hateful because of love.
Every favored concubine looks like her, but they are not her.
Until the palace maid named Yu Yan appeared. Not only does she look exactly like the late empress, but her posture as she plays the piano and her taste in tea are exactly the same.
The emperor fell into despair, gave her the supreme honor, and gave birth to a prince with her.
But he doesn't know that this woman who looks most like Bai Yueguang has a shocking conspiracy behind her...
When the stand-in is no longer satisfied with acting, and when affection becomes a bargaining chip in calculations, a crisis that subverts the dynasty quietly comes.
"Your Majesty, who are you looking at through my eyes?"
"If I say that this face is tailor-made for you... Do you still dare to love me?"
——This is a fatal game between an emperor and a substitute. If you win, your mother will be honored by the world, but if you lose, you will be doomed.
