After Discovering the Emperor in My Bed Had Been Replaced

[Completed in full. The entire book costs only 4.25 yuan, so don't miss it as you pass by!]

Recently, Meng Chuyao, empress of the Ji Dynasty, has been in low spirits. It's not palace affairs bothering her, but the person beside her in bed.

Still, she isn't concerned about the emperor's health.

Meng Chuyao married him because each wanted something from the other: one wanted to be empress, the other wanted to be emperor.

Who could have expected that, five years after ascending the throne and finally securing his rule, he would start suppressing and cutting down the power of the Meng family?

Meng Chuyao was never an innocent little flower who knew nothing of the world. On the contrary, she had ambition and knew how to get what she wanted.

So she decided to become a young widow and take the throne as empress dowager early, ensuring a life of peace and comfort.

But she never expected someone to disrupt all her plans.

During the autumn hunt, the emperor was ambushed and accidentally fell off a cliff, but luckily survived by a hair's breadth.

Not one of the civil or military officials noticed that the emperor had been replaced. Only she, who spent every day and night with him, knew that the person curled up asleep beside her had changed.

It didn't matter. The person had changed, but the plan to kill her husband could go ahead as before.

Ji Linyun was a twin with his older brother. Because he was born a quarter of an hour later, he was callously abandoned and became his brother's unseen shadow guard.

Later, he watched as his brother married the gentle and dignified daughter of a general and became the ruler of the empire.

But his brother didn't know how to treasure her. He broke his promise and hurt his sister-in-law.

He thought, If it were me, I would never treat her like that.

That day, on the cliff face, his brother's life hung by a thread. As his personal shadow guard, he should have saved him.

But without a moment's hesitation, he let go of his brother's hand.

Then he boldly took his brother's place. Although he looked exactly like his brother, and even copied his habits down to the smallest detail,

he knew the empress had still recognized that he wasn't his brother.

After eating poisoned imperial food in the empress's palace, he used his inner strength to force the poison out.

Wounded by an assassin sent by the empress, he held out his bloodied arm and made her apply the medicine herself.

When he learned that the concubines had conspired with the empress to drug him, hoping to bear the emperor's child, he could no longer control himself. Fighting the drug's violent effects, he barged into the empress's chambers, cornered her against the bed, and gritted his teeth. "The crown prince must be born to the empress."

He had long since become hopelessly caught up in this game of impersonation.

Later, his brother actually returned alive. He pointed at him angrily and said to Meng Chuyao, "He's my twin brother, Your Majesty. He deceived you!"

He carefully watched Meng Chuyao's reaction. Her face showed no trace of joy that her husband had survived death.

Her calm, limpid eyes studied the two of them. She seemed to have something else in mind.

Beneath his sleeve, he hooked his finger around hers and fixed his dark eyes on her. "I'm more suited to you than he is. Be obedient and listen to me. He should be killed."

Note: Before the former emperor fell off the cliff, the heroine and the hero had no romantic relationship.

Reading guide:

1. The former husband brought about his own downfall and was replaced, so the heroine is not a virgin, but the hero is.

2. The political maneuvering is kindergarten-level. The story mainly focuses on the hero and heroine matching wits.

3. The imperial harem is empty.

"The Fake Heiress and Her Husband with Two Personalities"

#The aloof beauty comes down from her pedestal + a clear-eyed heroine who loves money and herself + a green-tea peacock showing off

Qiao Youxin transmigrated into a book.

The good news: she's a wealthy heiress with a handsome, wealthy husband who has broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs.

The bad news: she's a fake heiress, and the real heiress is about to be reunited with her family. Her husband has two personalities, and theirs is a marriage of convenience. She has plenty of male friends, including a flirtatious male lead.

According to the original plot, two months later, out of jealousy, she will try to run over the real heiress, crash her car into a tree, and die.

Looking at her beautiful face in the mirror, she decides to avoid men, get along with the real heiress, and cherish her life.

First, she needs to get the handsome men who came to her house for a party to leave. Her excuse is that her husband, who has a mental illness, is about to come home.

As she sees the last man out, he smiles and says, "It's me. I'm your husband with a mental illness."

*

Her bargain husband has two completely different personalities. By day, he's dressed in a suit, with a calm gaze and a distant air. At night, he wears casual sportswear, has a sly look in his eyes, and is cheerful and talkative.

Whenever one of her troublesome male friends comes to the house, she asks her husband's second personality to pretend to be mentally ill. The two of them play along together, scaring the men off and getting their money back.

It's a bit of a hassle to get in touch. When she texts him, she notes that the message is for the second personality. The one who usually replies is the aloof primary personality: "Received. I'll pass it on."

Of the two personalities, she likes the second one better. They get along more like friends with the same foul tastes.

*

She finds the real heiress ahead of time and becomes her best friend, creating opportunities for her to reunite with her adoptive parents. From then on, they become a happy family of four.

She asks her bargain husband for a divorce, but both personalities oppose it.

The primary personality loosens his tie, his expression dark. "I've already been letting my younger brother come out more often. Why do you want a divorce?"

The second personality takes her hand and slowly traces over his eyes, lips, collarbone, and chest, stopping at his waist.

"Sister-in-law, even though you hate my brother, he works during the day, so you don't have to see him. The rest of the time, it's me. I'm considerate and handsome. Don't divorce him, okay?"

She doesn't hate the primary personality at all!

She thought he only had two personalities. She never expected the cold, suit-wearing elite personality to be an obsessive, possessive stalker, while the cheerful college-boy personality would be a scheming green-tea peacock.

Later on,

Having a husband with two personalities seems pretty nice.

If only they wouldn't leave each other notes insulting one another all the time. If they insist on fighting, fine, but do they have to ask her to judge who's right?

Reading guide:

1. The heroine is not a virgin, but the hero is.

2. The male lead has two personalities. They like making each other jealous and fighting over him.

3. The original male lead might be portrayed negatively, but the real heiress definitely won't be.

4. No women competing against women. The men will compete against each other.

Theme: Start over and welcome a beautiful future.
