[Historical romance + palace intrigue + fake substitute + strong female lead + two men chasing their wives to the crematorium]
Lin Xiangsheng was the most obedient canary by Prince Chu's side, and the most special person in his household.
Everyone knew she was Prince Chu's beloved confidante, and respectfully addressed her as “Miss.”
He had kept her in comfort for seven years, and she had been docile and obedient for just as long.
Yet for the sake of his grand ambitions, he still sent her to his nephew's bed.
“Shengsheng, help me succeed. Once I take the throne, you’ll be the most beloved consort by my side.”
She scoffed. At last, she had seen through the man she had loved for so many years.
But circumstances left her no choice, and she entered the palace.
She never expected the emperor to treat her as a substitute, much less that the person she was supposedly replacing would turn out to be herself…
Theme: Live well.
P.S. Neither the male nor female lead is sexually inexperienced. The early chapters are angsty. Once the heroine sees through him and gives up, she will grow into a creature of pure ambition for power. She is no good person and will willingly hurt others, so if that’s not your thing, don’t read.
