The Days I Was Forced to Be a Substitute

Bai Mo, a top assassin, is entrusted with the important mission of infiltrating the emperor Qi Yue's inner circle and waiting for a chance to assassinate him.

Qi Yue is dignified and refined, noble and reserved, nothing like the bloodthirsty tyrant described in the rumors.

As time passes, Bai Mo falls in love with him. He not only confesses everything to Qi Yue, but also becomes the hidden blade at his side, eliminating rivals and dealing with threats from within and without.

But in the end, all he gets in return is a cup of poisoned wine, and the fate of a hunted rabbit whose usefulness is over.

Fortunately, Bai Mo fakes his death at the crucial moment and makes his escape.

But before he can even leave the imperial city, he sees the Imperial Guards pointing at portraits plastered all over the city gates and shouting, “Anyone who looks like the young man in this portrait, no matter if they're male or female, old or young, bring them all to the palace!”

Bai Mo: “?”

“I heard the emperor's beloved has died?”

“Must be true. Otherwise, why would His Majesty be searching everywhere for a stand-in?”

“His Majesty is truly devoted!”

Bai Mo: “???”
