Yu Wan was regarded as a substitute for the late princess and imprisoned in the Regent's Palace for three full years.
A bowl of soup made her forget who she was. A face that looked exactly like someone else allowed her to bear all the favor and indifference. It wasn't until her memory recovered after falling into the water that she discovered that the man who taught her how to play the piano and occasionally showed tenderness was the man who ordered the ransacking of the Yu family five years ago.
What's even more ridiculous is that the "soothing soup" he gave her was eating away at her life inch by inch.
Yu Wan didn't cry or question. She just quietly put away half of the Yu family's ancestral jade pendant, and planned a fire before the poison was released, burning away her own substitute identity and all Pei Changyuan's self-deception.
In the ruins, Pei Changyuan found the medical notes she left behind. He went crazy when he turned the first page - the little medical girl who saved his life during the rebellion five years ago was Yu Wan.
When he chased her to Jiangnan, she was sitting under a loquat tree peeling loquats.
"Your Majesty," she raised her clean eyes, "I don't want to be anyone's substitute."
Later, a commoner man appeared in the alley of Suzhou who delivered sesame seed cakes to people every day. The neighbor asked him what he wanted. He looked at the ajar door deep in the alley and said -
"Wait until she's willing to let me in."
