Swapping Identities with My Crown Prince Husband

Su Jiahe's husband had been the crown prince since childhood. Born the legitimate son of the empress, he lost his mother at birth and was raised by the emperor himself, who cared for and cherished him deeply.

As a child, the crown prince lived up to everyone's expectations. He excelled at poetry, literature, riding, and archery, could recite the Four Books and Five Classics after a single reading, and won the emperor's favor. Everyone praised him.

But ten years later, things gradually changed.

The emperor's eldest son and the empress's legitimate son grew up. In the court and the inner palace, everyone had their own devious motives. The benevolent and wise crown prince began making frequent mistakes, clashing with his brothers and arousing the emperor's suspicions. Again and again, he disappointed the emperor and was reprimanded.

It was then that Su Jiahe became the crown princess.

She was the empress's niece, and a model of virtue, praised by all for honoring her stepmother and raising her younger siblings. People hoped that after entering the Eastern Palace, she would persuade the crown prince to return to his former wise ways.

But the crown prince did not love her and never listened to her advice. His behavior grew increasingly reckless.

Just as the emperor reprimanded the crown prince yet again for acting perversely and without restraint, for being unfilial and unkind, and was on the verge of deposing him

The heavens changed, and she and her crown prince husband swapped bodies.

Chen Maoji woke from a drunken stupor to discover that he had switched bodies with his wife. After breaking down, he simply gave up trying.

His crown princess came from the same family as the empress. She was a dull, virtuous woman he had never taken seriously. How could someone like her pretend to be a proper heir to the throne in his place?

But he was going to be deposed anyway. Either way, he was doomed, so he might as well let her do as she pleased.

Who could have guessed that this woman, dull as a block of wood, would actually lead him stumbling through a thicket of thorns and find a way forward?

Chen Maoji refused to believe it. "Caught between a rock and a hard place, damned no matter what I do, always on edge and walking on eggshells. How can anyone live like this?"

"Why not?" Su Jiahe replied, serene and composed. "What you describe has simply been my daily life since childhood."

Then Su Jiahe smiled even more gently. "Compared to all that, have you done your needlework, Your Highness? Have you studied the virtues of women? Have you been serving and honoring Her Majesty properly?"

Chen Maoji's face suddenly stiffened.

At its heart, this is a healing story about understanding, consideration, and standing by each other through thick and thin.
