The regent has a beloved little disciple.

She is the seventeenth princess of an enemy kingdom.

They meet again on her way to marry the crown prince in a political alliance.

When he learns she is going to marry someone else, he thinks he must be going mad.

He uses every means to claim her,

whether she is willing or not.

On their wedding night, he lifts her veil,

only to meet a pair of eyes full of bashful tenderness.

She says, "It took me a whole lifetime to find you."

The heroine and the second male lead's storyline

When the seventeenth princess died, her husband, the crown prince of Tang, was at the height of his success.

He had outlived the sickly regent, deposed her, his wicked crown princess, and was only one step away from the throne.

He had also married the eighth princess, the woman he'd always longed for. He was the very picture of a winner.

Only then did the seventeenth princess realize that she had been nothing but her eighth sister's substitute all along.

Given a new life, she would take away everything he cared about.

In her previous life, he scolded and humiliated her, imprisoned her, and killed everyone by her side.

In this life, she would make him pay tenfold.

Later, they meet at a palace banquet.

She wears splendid robes, her eyes bright as stars, her smile radiant.

He walks toward her, dazed.

There is no longer a place for him in her eyes, and her smile is only for someone else.

The regent takes her hand, and they look like an immortal couple. He is left pining for someone he can never have, his love unreturned.

Only after losing her does he finally realize that, from beginning to end, he had mistaken her for someone else.
