Lu Zhaoyue was frail from birth, so her biological father abandoned her in the countryside.
The entire household looked on coldly as she struggled to survive.
But she never felt sorry for herself. She met a dashing, free-spirited young man named Rong Yan, who weathered every storm for her.
But Rong Yan died in the year Lu Zhaoyue loved him most.
When her father's career hit a snag, he learned she had recovered and brought her back to the manor.
He ordered her to take her elder sister's place in the palace selection, hoping to curry favor with the new emperor.
Rumor had it the new emperor was cruel and sinister, with countless lives to his name.
Many women in his harem had met their ends at his hands.
If she could avenge her A Yan, what did she have to fear?
But when Lu Zhaoyue saw the new emperor, she was stunned.
There was a mole at the corner of his eye, too, and he looked six parts like A Yan.
She kissed the mole tenderly. "I like this mole very much."
The new emperor was clearly ruthless, yet he gazed deeply at her and pulled her tightly into his arms.

Qi Jins was born with a mole believed to bring disaster. He was regarded as an ill-omened monster, and even the lowly palace attendants looked at him with fear and disgust.
After seizing power and ascending the throne, Qi Jins was bent on eliminating the powerful Duke's household.
Rumor said the manor's legitimate daughter was so beautiful that every man who saw her would fall to his knees at her feet.
He wanted to see what someone raised in a loving family would turn out like. Then he'd kill her and have her whole family buried with her.
But he never expected to find himself breathing in the sweet scent of the woman in his arms,
with her gentle comfort driving away all his nightmares.
He decided that keeping such a little thing in his harem might not be so bad.
Then, one day,
his beloved consort received a letter and burst into tears.
She slipped out of the palace behind his back to meet a man in secret.
The man had the same mole as him and looked six parts like him.
She told the man, "Take me away. I have never loved that tyrant."
Rain poured down as the palace gates remained shut.
Qi Jins pressed a cold weapon into Lu Zhaoyue's hand, his eyes bloodshot and vicious. "A Zhao wants to leave? This is a crossbow. It has one bolt. Shoot me dead, and you can go."
"But if you fail to kill me, don't blame me for showing no mercy."
"With my life, I imprison the spring light."
