I've been married to him for three years and he never touches me. Because he only has Bai Yueguang in his heart, and Bai Yueguang and I look exactly the same.
Jiang Wan, the daughter of a merchant, was forcibly selected into the palace as his queen because she looked like the emperor's Bai Yueguang (the former princess who died in a coup). In three years, he let her wear Bai Yueguang's favorite clothes, comb her hair in Bai Yueguang's favorite bun, and learn how Bai Yueguang talked and walked. She thought she could survive as long as she was obedient, until Bai Yueguang came back from the dead. From a humble substitute to self-awareness to resistance, she finally stopped being the shadow of others.
A lot of abuse:
· On the wedding night, he was drunk, holding her in his arms and calling her Bai Yueguang's name
· He made her kneel on the cold ground all night long
· After Bai Yueguang came back, she was demoted to a laundry maid
· She was disfigured by Bai Yueguang's design, and he watched with cold eyes
· Her heart skipped a beat, but he jumped down and realized that he no longer regarded her as a substitute.
· She woke up with amnesia and couldn't remember him at all
Avoid similarities: It is not a simple "substitute turns into true love", but the ultimate sadomasochism in which the heroine completely gives up and the hero realizes it later.
