The regent married me just because I looked like his Bai Yueguang.
On the wedding night, when he lifted his hijab, his first words were: "What's your name?"
He doesn't even know my name.
I worked hard on my marriage, managed the huge palace for him, and swallowed all the grievances.
As soon as Bai Yueguang came back, I changed from a real wife to a joke.
She framed me for poisoning, and he punished me by kneeling in the rain.
I had a high fever and my servant asked him what to do.
"Let her kneel," he said.
At that moment, my heart died.
I faked my death and escaped, jumping into the roaring river.
Three years later, I became the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River, and I was as rich as the country.
He knelt in front of me and offered the token of love that year with both hands.
I took it and smashed it in front of him.
"Shen Qiwu is dead. Want Su Jinse? Give it your sincerity in exchange."

Sisters! I stayed up all night and finished reading the first twelve chapters. Now my eyes are swollen from crying and my heart is blocked. I have to scream! This book is so good that it makes me cry. Woohoo--
The opening scene was on the wedding night. The male protagonist lifted his hijab and asked "What's your name" as the first sentence. I was completely dumbfounded. The name Shen Qiwu was written in the wedding book and in the Ministry of Etiquette booklet, but he didn't know it? With just this sentence, I knew how much grievance this heroine would suffer later on. Sure enough, the Xiyue Pavilion, the white jade hairpin, and the old hairpin with the word "moon" engraved on it were smashed over one by one, stabbing into the pit of the heart with the knife.
What broke my defense the most were the chapters where the heroine knew that she was a substitute. When she saw Liu Xiyue's portrait, she found that the face was 70% similar to her own. She cried in front of the bronze mirror all night, and then turned the bronze mirror over - saying, "I don't want to see that face anymore, that's not her face." I burst into tears. She was not crying because she was wronged, but because she realized that she had lived for eighteen years and had become someone else's shadow. This kind of pain is deeper than being hurt, it is that even oneself has been denied.
There is also the section about white hosta. She put it on happily, thinking that he finally noticed her, but Bi Tao inquired and came back - it was given to Liu Xiyue by the prince three years ago. It was locked in the warehouse to collect dust, and now he took it out and gave it to her. She said nothing, locked the hairpin into the deepest part of the dowry, and never took it out again. The feeling of falling from the clouds made my heart ache when I wrote it.
The heroine is not the kind of character who cries and waits for a man to come back. After she knew that she was a substitute, she should take care of the house, check the accounts, and pay respects to Aunt Zhou all day long. Being left out, ignored, and treated like air, she gritted her teeth and held on, her back never bending. Bitao asked her why she didn't cry, and she said "crying is useless." With these four words, I saw a woman who had suffered in the Shen family for more than ten years and had long since learned to swallow all her grievances. It's not that she doesn't feel pain, she's used to it.
The male protagonist is really annoying at the moment and I want to see how he pursues his wife later. He gave her a fox fur coat and said, "You are a princess, and the shabby clothes will disgrace the palace." The gift of a hairpin was an old thing that someone didn't want. After a few days of gentleness, it returned to its original state. How indifferent he is now, how much he looks forward to the crematorium behind him. I'm just waiting for the day when he kneels down and begs to get back together!
Bitao is also a treasure! Every time the princess was wronged, she was the first to rush to argue with others. She was loyal and protective and cute, and was the only light in this cold palace.
The rhythm is compact but not procrastinating, and the action is on point without being tortured for the sake of being tortured. The writing is delicate and the psychological description is particularly poignant. Highly recommended! Now I want to see how the heroine will counterattack after Liu Xiyue comes back, I can't wait!
