Jiang Yan and the crown prince who had toyed with her feelings and exiled her entire family switched bodies.
The next day, the emperor died.
#The throne came so suddenly#
#Being emperor is actually pretty great#
#Payback for every grudge and grievance#
She waited for Helan Quan for eight years, only to receive an imperial decree stripping her entire family of their positions and exiling them three thousand li away. The position of crown princess went to someone else, too.
Just as her heart died and she was about to leave, she was abducted and brought back, then imprisoned in the Eastern Palace, never to see daylight.
After their bodies were switched, Jiang Yan kicked open the gates of the Cold Palace and took the throne he had dreamed of.
She looked at Helan Quan, trapped in her body, and smiled faintly.
"I just sent your own sister away to marry into a foreign land. That's a lot farther than three thousand li from home."
"Helan Quan, my revenge has only just begun. Why are you crying already?"
Helan Quan used to think Jiang Yan would forgive every wrong he had done without question.
Until he knelt humbly at her feet and said, deeply moved, "A Yan, do you know? They were all just substitutes for you."
Jiang Yan looked a little disgusted as she wiped the rosewater she'd used to wash her hands onto the pristine white lapel of his robe.
"Once it's stained, it's stained. You can't wash it clean."
A true case of chasing his wife into a crematorium and still failing.
Helan Yu had always kept a secret in his heart.
He had always coveted his imperial brother's rose.
He never expected that, after all the storms and turmoil, that rose would bloom for him.

I beg the author not to change the male and female protagonists back.
