The Stand-In Takes the Place of His White Moonlight

[Blurb]

An invitation: I'm in a bridal sedan, and I've just transmigrated.

Here's what happened: Wen Luming was still squeezing onto the subway one moment, then everything went black, and she'd transmigrated.

Wen Luming transmigrated into a palace-intrigue novel, but her character had absolutely nothing to do with the palace scheming. She was just a maid at a county magistrate's residence, mentioned in passing in the original book.

None of that matters. Can someone tell her why the man she's marrying is Qi Biehe, the only grandson of Chancellor Qi?

Sure, the man is so devastatingly handsome that even the celebrated beauty at the Fragrant House pales beside him... But he's blind and has a bad leg!

Everyone: If he weren't blind, would he marry you?

Wen Luming: ...That does kind of make sense.

She understands all that, but what's the meaning of her new husband calling another woman's name while holding her on their wedding night?

Wen Luming: I get it. I'm a stand-in.

Qi Biehe was framed by villains. They poisoned him blind, broke both his legs, and tossed him onto a pile of corpses, barely clinging to life.

When he woke again, he caught a faint scent of camellias. A woman's clear voice asked him, "You're awake?"

He and the woman lived in a cave for a month. She cared for him, found medicinal herbs to treat him, and the two fell in love.

When they parted, she told him her name was Chu Yue, and that she was a maid at the county magistrate's residence in Lingzhou County.

A year later, after recovering from his injuries, he ignored worldly judgment and gossip and insisted on marrying the maid into the Qi household with a grand bridal procession.

On their wedding night, his heart raced with excitement. Then he heard the familiar voice from his memories ask him in a strangely distant tone, "Lord Qi, why would you marry an ordinary maid like me?"

She didn't remember him.
