In her previous life, Crown Princess Jiang Yingyue was forced to drink poisoned wine and die. To her final breath, she never got so much as a visit from Crown Prince Xiao Mubai.
That same day, her twin sister Jiang Yinghan died fighting on the border, an arrow piercing her heart.
The two sisters were reborn together.
After being reborn, Jiang Yingyue learned that the crown prince had only ever treated her as a substitute. If she entered the palace, she would meet a gruesome end, and she refused to repeat her past mistakes. To protect her sister and the Jiang family, Jiang Yinghan volunteered to assume her sister’s identity and enter the palace selection.
Though she was hopeless at music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, she was unexpectedly chosen as the crown princess. The crown prince was refined, gentle, and considerate, but she feared he would treat her as a substitute just as he had her sister, and dared not fall for him.
With the wedding fast approaching, Xiao Mubai unexpectedly discovered that Jiang Yinghan did not want to marry him. That very night, he dropped his disguise...
Early on: She must play the part of her dignified, proper older sister, suppressing her own nature.
Later: The scheming crown prince stops pretending, taking her by force. Sweetness and heartbreak intertwine.
