Bu Xianglü had been dating a younger boyfriend for five years, and the guy wouldn't even let him hold his hand. Then he caught him leaning against the railing by the moat with a pretty boy, who was so handsome it was downright infuriating.
Green with jealousy, Bu Xianglü stormed over to confront them. In the scuffle, he and the pretty boy both fell into the moat.
But when he opened his eyes again, he had become the ruler of a kingdom and was about to marry the most beautiful woman in the land and make her his empress.
Wait a minute. Why does the empress's face look so familiar? She looks exactly like that pretty boy!
On the wedding day.
"I want to depose the empress!"
"Your Majesty, please think twice! The empress saved your life. How can you depose her so lightly?"
So he let it go.
On the second day of the wedding.
"I want to depose the empress!"
"Your Majesty, please think twice!"
"Think twice, my foot! He dressed as a woman and deceived the throne. Isn't that enough reason to depose him?"
"Your Majesty is a wise ruler. You mustn't falsely accuse the empress just to depose her!"
So he let it go again.
As time passed, Bu Xianglü gradually realized that his empress only looked like the pretty boy. In fact, she was a good person, and treated him very well.
Never mind. He didn't have to depose her.
They only shared a face, not an identity. He couldn't take his anger out on an innocent person.
Bu Xianglü was finally ready to make peace with his empress for good. She seemed pleased, and leaned close to his ear, singing tenderly, "You ask me how deeply I love you..."
Bu Xianglü's eyes widened in shock. He sprang to his feet. "I want to depose the empress!!!"
