When Su Ming Lan was still called Su Jin Yu, she was the most treasured princess of the Great Moon Kingdom, peerlessly beautiful and powerful enough to sway the court. She made countless enemies in her life, yet was also beloved by the people.
At seventeen, she was ambushed and fell off a cliff while traveling incognito. From then on, she vanished without a trace.

Su Ming Lan opened her eyes after a long sleep and found herself in an unfamiliar mountain valley. The person who had saved her was a traveling doctor named Xie Liu Yun.
Xie Liu Yun was cold and beautiful, as white as snow on a mountain and as bright as the moon among clouds.
The more Su Ming Lan looked at him, the more she liked him. She pretended to be drunk, flirted with him in every way she could, and offered herself to him. He only gave her a cold glance.
"I love only Jin Yu. If you didn't look a little like her, I wouldn't have saved you."
Su Ming Lan: ???
Am I my own stand-in?
#The one I love is perfect in every way, except for his eyesight#

A year later, the empress died, and Bianjing fell into chaos.
Su Ming Lan hurriedly packed her things and left the valley in the dead of night without saying goodbye.
When they met again, Xie Liu Yun, the young master of Medicine King Valley, pinned her to the imperial throne, his teeth clenched. She was covered in blood, his eyes were red, and even his fingers trembled as they touched her wounds.
"Su Ming Lan, were you planning to deceive me for the rest of my life?"
Su Ming Lan leaned weakly against him, still taking a lock of his hair and twirling it around her finger. Her smile was teasing.
"I thought you were deeply in love with Su Jin Yu. Is that all there is to it?"
