Shen Yuan knew one thing as long as she could remember - she was the substitute that the Prime Minister's Mansion had raised for fifteen years.
Marry for your legitimate daughter Shen Yao, protect Shen Yao from disaster, and die for Shen Yao.
On the night of the wedding, the tyrant Chu Zhao lifted his hijab, with undisguised disappointment in his eyes: "You look so much like her, but it's a pity that you are not her."
Shen Yuan knelt on the broken bowl, with blood oozing from his knees, and said with a gentle smile: "Your Majesty is right."
What she didn't say was - coincidentally, I also thought Shen Yao deserved to die.
No one knew that this stand-in who was used as a chess piece was actually the last princess of the previous dynasty. On the day when the Prime Minister killed her entire family, she hid among the dead, carving hatred into her bones.
Chu Zhao also didn't expect that the "Queen of Tools" he used to anger Shen Yao would put a knife on his neck one night: "Your Majesty, will you cooperate? You help me kill my enemies, and I will help you seize the throne."
He smiled and pressed the knife into his chest: "If you don't have enough chips, add one more - be my real queen."
Shen Yuan withdrew the knife: "Deal. But remember, this throne will be mine sooner or later."
One day later, Shen Yao knelt in the Jinluan Palace and cried: "She is a remnant of the previous dynasty! She usurped the throne!"
All civil and military officials in the court knelt on the ground and kowtowed respectfully: "See the Empress."
Chu Zhao stood beside her, handed over the jade seal, and laughed softly: "She is right, you usurped my position and my heart."
Chen Yuan took the jade seal, looked down at all living beings, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly——
"This throne is yours, but this world belongs to both of us."
——This is a story about a substitute who does not want to be a substitute, but wants to be the master of the world. They were not raised by the empress, but the empress herself came down to earth to experience life.
