White Moonlight and Cinnabar Mole

In another's body, beyond her palace walls; in another's form, beyond her secluded household.

Across a river, two lands, two empresses.

Even as women, they can join hands with their beloveds and smile as they gaze upon a thousand miles of rivers and mountains.

Empresses in this life, blessed with unrivaled favor.

This story is also known as "The Tale of Two Empresses."

In one sentence: On the day of the Eastern Palace wedding, Crown Princess Jiang Sangzi and Jiang Shanzhi, the legitimate daughter of the Grand Tutor's household, swapped souls overnight. When they woke, their worlds had been exchanged. The road ahead was long. They left their palaces and homes behind, joined hands, and traveled a thousand miles across rivers and mountains. Across one river and two lands, the two empresses made their names known.

Please don't make ranking lists. Thanks.

Storm warning:

1. Mary Sue!

2. Fictional setting. The author is clueless, so please don't nitpick the historical details. Thanks!

3. Mindless palace intrigue, mindless household intrigue, and a story that doesn't take itself too seriously. Please read without using your brain.

4. Other hazards yet to be discovered.

Bonus scene:

The most beautiful words Jiang Sangzi ever heard in her life were spoken in the vast fields of Gesang flowers in Cangqiang, when she asked Huo Ling

If she and I can never switch our souls back, how long can you wait for me?

He said, A lifetime.

Jiang Shanzhi and Zuo Yijiang stood nearby. She wanted to ask the same question.

He simply knelt on one knee beside her skirt, took her hand, and pressed a light kiss to it.

This is the greatest love a man of Cangqiang can offer the woman he loves: a promise to kneel for her for a lifetime, just as his father had once promised his mother.

I can see you clearly, yet I can never touch you. I don't know how long I'll have to wait. I only know that I'm willing to wait a lifetime, until the day I can truly take your hand., Huo Ling/Zuo Yijiang
