The New My Fair Princess: The Princess Is a Substitute

[Substitute + Angsty Romance + First Love + Regret and Pursuit]

Yongqi was always as gentle and considerate toward Xiaoyanzi as ever, but there was an invisible barrier between them that she could neither see nor touch.

While preparing a birthday gift for Yongqi, she found a painting.

The girl in it looked seven parts like Xiaoyanzi. The inscription read, “To Ru Yan.”

He snatched the painting away, his eyes flustered. “It's just an old keepsake.”

But that night, when he was drunk and held me in his arms, he called out another woman's name.

All these years, I had been living in someone else's shadow.

Even when he was drunk, he called out that name.

Heartbroken, Xiaoyanzi realized she had always been a thief, enjoying affection that was never meant for her.

At last, she understood that the barrier between them was called a first love.

Then the first love who was supposedly dead turned out to be alive and came to the palace. Xiaoyanzi decided it was time to leave.

But Yongqi seemed to have lost his mind. He refused to let her go, insisting that she was the one he'd always loved.
