Blurb One:
The Lin family of Shengjing had two daughters. The elder, Lin Qingyuan, had been chosen as the Crown Princess from childhood. The younger, Lin Qingcen, died shortly after she was born.
One night, eighteen years later, the eldest young lady, Lin Qingyuan, was abducted by assassins. When she returned three days later, it was as if she had become another person.
She was supposed to be a gentle, refined young lady, yet a maid caught her climbing over the wall in the middle of the night.
She had once loved needlework, yet now she secretly practiced martial arts in her courtyard.
To avenge her senior brother, Lin Qingcen willingly helped him smuggle his enemy's daughter out. But one day, when she sneaked away, she was discovered. Fortunately, a kind person helped her escape. Knowing how hard things were for her senior brother, she returned to the enemy's side once more. Since she looked just like the enemy's daughter, she managed to thrive there.
Then, with the wedding approaching and her senior brother nowhere to be seen with the real bride, she had no choice but to take her place for the time being.
Who could have guessed that the groom, the Crown Prince, was the very man who had helped her leave the estate that day?
But in the Crown Prince's eyes, the Lin family's daughter was gentle and compliant, while the woman before him was the complete opposite.
He had his suspicions, but didn't expose her. After all, he had met the real Lin family's daughter. She was breathtakingly beautiful, so dazzling and voluptuous that none could compare, and she was precisely the woman before him, his Crown Princess.
Later, living in the Eastern Palace, she incurred the jealousy of others, and her identity was exposed.
When the blades of the soldiers were all pointed at her, leaving her alone and helpless, the Crown Prince stood beside her and declared, “She is no commoner. She has a name. Her name is Lu Xi. She is my Crown Princess, my wife.”
Blurb Two:
The fake Crown Princess lives in the Eastern Palace, keeping the Crown Prince from discovering her true identity while helping people sent by her senior brother search for The Nine Heavens Oddity Manual. But she never expected to get caught up in the struggles between the imperial consorts. She thought she was different from these women, only to discover that she had long since become an inseparable part of the harem. Threatened by the Empress and watched like prey by the Noble Consort, while Consort Yu plots and schemes, she has no choice but to stand with the Crown Prince to protect herself.
When the real Crown Princess appears, her identity is revealed, and it seems as though everything was planned in advance. Seeing her senior brother, who once kept her company, standing with another woman breaks her heart. The beautiful future she'd always held on to vanishes like an illusion. When she turns around, someone is still waiting for her. The supreme Crown Prince gives up his empire for her and returns to a quiet life in the countryside.
