Jade-Rich, Gentle Lord

Liu Xiwu's godmother was betrayed by a man and, in despair, hanged herself from a beam.

Desperate for a chance to avenge her, Liu Xiwu finally saw fortune smile on her: the villain's son was seized by bandits, then fell into her hands, covered in wounds and near death.

The young man was impossibly handsome and cold, keeping everyone at a distance. But under Liu Xiwu's relentless coaxing and deception, she won both his heart and his body.

Under the open sky at night, he held her close and promised in a hoarse voice, "Wait for me. I'll come back alive and marry you."

She thought she had nearly succeeded, but as they grew closer, tiny clues made her realize she had mistaken him for someone else.

Enraged, Liu Xiwu had a huge argument with him that very night, and learned that the real man's son had died long ago.

This young man was just an impostor who had taken the rightful heir's clothes and jade pendant.

Facing the young man's shattered, anguished gaze, wounded by her deception and betrayal, she said coldly, "Give me the clothes and jade pendant, then get me pregnant. After that, we can pretend we never knew each other."

Liu Xiwu found the rightful heir's body and brought the evidence with her. Claiming the child in her womb was his posthumous heir, she entered the powerful family and turned its world upside down.

When officials came to confiscate the villain's property, one of them saw her face.

The next day, the Chancellor's residence joyfully sent for her, eager to welcome her back into the family.

Only then did she discover that she was the Chancellor's second daughter, lost to the family years ago.

She thought Heaven had finally opened its eyes and rewarded her with a chance to turn her life around. But when she returned to the capital, she realized Heaven had played another trick on her.

As soon as she entered the Chancellor's residence, she was placed under house arrest. She had food and comfort, but could barely see the light of day.

They had brought her back not to reunite with her, but because they feared that if she showed her face in public, rumors would start.

Because she had a twin sister.

They had the same face, but her sister had grown up pampered: fairer, fuller-figured, accomplished in music and poetry, and married into the imperial family as the Crown Princess.

Her childhood had been difficult, while her sister said she envied her freedom to roam beneath the open sky, carefree and untroubled.

She was locked away in the Chancellor's residence, while her sister's greatest problem was that she disliked the Crown Prince's concubines.

A dark thought took root in her mind.

Dear sister, do you envy me? Then let's switch places.

It took her a year to completely take her sister's place.

She learned her sister's bearing and manner of speech, practiced music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and secretly helped her escape.

But the moment she saw her Crown Prince brother-in-law, the blood in her veins turned cold.

The Crown Prince looked exactly like the impostor.

Xiao Fuxuan had shed the last traces of boyishness she remembered. He was more composed and imposing than before. Dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, he stood before her, his deep-set eyes fixed on her as a smile that chilled her to the bone curved his lips.

"Why are you looking at me like that, Crown Princess?"

‖After all that trouble just to enjoy a couple of good days, and now I've fallen into this devil's hands?‖

‖Forget it. I'll make do. It's not like I can get a divorce...‖

Reading Guide:

1. Fake Crown Princess vs. fake Crown Prince. The male lead and the Crown Prince are twins. The real Crown Prince is the one with an actual marriage to the older sister.

2. One-on-one, both leads have only ever been with each other.

3. Everyone is a villain, including the older sister. She has her own romantic match.

4. The heroine has no romantic storyline with the original Crown Prince, and the male lead has none with the heroine's sister.

(A little complicated, but basically nothing forbidden by the site. No infidelity; the male lead is faithful in both body and heart. Please note.)

5. Note from 2025.10.27, revised 2026.1.13. The blurb may be revised, but the central premise will stay the same.
