The twin sisters Su Jiao and Su Shu of the Dingyuan Marquis’s household were destined for different paths from the moment they were born.
The elder sister, Su Jiao, enjoyed all the glory and was raised as the marquis’s pampered legitimate second daughter.
The younger sister, Su Shu, had her identity erased and was imprisoned in the family shrine, suffering in silence and forgotten by everyone.
When the Crown Prince fell gravely ill, the divination pointed to the fate of the marquis’s legitimate second daughter as the key to bringing him good fortune.
But Su Jiao already had a lover. How could the marquis bear to let his beloved daughter become a widow in all but name?
So Su Jiao was sent to Jiangnan to live freely with her lover, while Su Shu was brought back to the marquis’s household, given the name “Su Jiao,” and married off to the Eastern Palace in her place.
On the wedding day, the whole city laughed that no one had come to collect the Crown Princess. Surely she’d be carried into the bridal sedan in tears and made to perform the wedding rites with a rooster.
Who could have guessed that Prince Chen would arrive with an imperial decree to marry his imperial sister-in-law in his elder brother’s place?
What stunned everyone even more was that, as they got in and out of the bridal sedan, Prince Chen personally bent down and carried her securely on his back.
One was a legitimate daughter married off as a stand-in, the other a madcap prince who came to collect his sister-in-law in his brother’s stead.
Bound by the title of uncle and sister-in-law, hemmed in by the rules of propriety, Prince Chen still pressed her at every turn, his jealousy raging.
After the Crown Princess took up residence in the Eastern Palace, the Crown Prince began to recover, only to meet with an unexpected accident.
Su Shu pushed him away through her tears. “Your Highness, don’t. Your elder brother’s body hasn’t even grown cold...”
Prince Chen gripped her waist, possessive obsession surging in his eyes. His voice was hoarse and wild:
“Don’t be afraid, Sister-in-law. I’ve already scattered my elder brother’s bones to the winds!”
