You Call Me a Fake Heiress? My Family Dotes on Me All the More

[Real or Fake Princess + Royal Family's Darling + Mutual Devotion + Sweet and Lighthearted]

Li Lingzhao has spent fifteen years as a treasured daughter of the Tang imperial family.

At the grand banquet for her coming-of-age birthday, the Grand Princess exposes her origins in front of everyone:

“She isn't of royal blood at all. She's just some fake the family picked up from who knows where!”

Zhaozhao clutches her longevity lock and sees the shabby Taoist temple from her dreams overlap with reality. She's just about to obediently go through the process of being “returned.”

But suddenly, the hall falls terrifyingly silent.

The entire royal family, who had been so quick to judge authenticity and so fiercely protective of their own, are enraged:

Her fiercely protective father slams the table. “My daughter is who I say she is. She is the one and only Princess Zhaoning of the Tang!”

Her cool and aloof mother gives a cold snort and waves her sleeve. “I raised my precious girl with my own hands. Who dares say another word?”

Her eldest brother, the heir to the throne, rests a hand on his sword and sneers. “Anyone who questions the princess's origins will be charged with framing her and put to death without exception!”

Her playboy third brother tosses out a stack of contracts. “Starting today, every business deal with the Grand Princess's household is canceled. They won't get a single copper coin!”

Her baby-faced youngest brother cries and clings to her leg. “My sister is real! Beat up this big meanie!”

The officials fall silent with fear, all turning to look at the cold-faced God of War, Prince Jing'an Xiao Chengji, who commands a powerful army and has a pair of “Shadow-Illuminating Eyes” that can distinguish truth from falsehood.

Everyone knows Prince Jing'an cannot tolerate even the smallest deception. Surely the fake princess is doomed now, right?

Before everyone's eyes, Xiao Chengji steps forward with a hand on his sword, sweeps back his robe, and bows deeply:

“Your Majesty, I wish to take Princess Zhaoning as my wife.”

The Grand Princess cries out in fury, “Xiao Chengji! Have your Shadow-Illuminating Eyes gone blind?”

Xiao Chengji's expression remains impassive, his voice cold and clear. “My Shadow-Illuminating Eyes went blind in Hanyuan Hall. The only one I wish to marry is Zhaoning.”
