Ji Minglang transmigrates and becomes the illegitimate daughter of Gabula, a high-ranking court official.
Her elder sister is none other than the famous Empress Heseri, said to be Emperor Kangxi's beloved white moonlight.
Sadly, his beloved died young. To keep the family in favor, they can only send Ji Minglang, their little illegitimate daughter, into the palace as well.
Everyone laughs at her for entering the palace as a replacement.
Ji Minglang's response: What's wrong with being a replacement?
The emperor likes seeing her sister wear a begonia hairpin? Done!
The emperor likes her sister in pale blue? Done!
The emperor likes reading the Collected Commentaries on the Four Books with her sister? Done!
With her sister's example to follow, Ji Minglang makes it through every obstacle and eventually wins the throne of Empress.
Is being a replacement any different from copying the answer key on an exam? No!
Can anyone turn down something this easy and efficient? No!
But cheating may be convenient, yet it can also backfire. At last, the ruler who looks down upon the world glares at her with bloodshot eyes and demands, “Have you never had me in your heart?”
