The White Moonlight's Substitute Flees Before the Wedding

At the Crown Prince's selection, Li Wanqing was chosen by the Empress. That very night, the Crown Prince summoned her, showering her with favor and making the noble young ladies of the capital burn with envy.

But no one knew that she was merely the spitting image of the Crown Prince's deceased true love. In the end, someone stripped the skin from her face, and she died a wretched death!

Reborn, Li Wanqing returned to the spring banquet where she had first met the Crown Prince.

Holding back her bitter tears, she never looked at him again. In this life, she would never be anyone's stand-in!

The Crown Prince had attended the spring banquet only to put his mother at ease. The love of his life was dead, and his heart had long since withered...

But a casual glance caught a young lady in a yellow dress not far away.

Her eyes looked like hers, her nose looked like hers, her lips looked like hers...

The Crown Prince immediately ordered, "Mother said she would choose consorts for me. Move the selection up by a month!"

But he waited and waited, and the young lady never came to the palace. Instead, he saw his Ninth Uncle lead her inside to pay their respects!!!!

Bonus scene:

The cicadas' cries seemed especially irritating in the summer breeze. Li Wanqing was sweating from the heat when she pushed open the window. "Has His Majesty invited us to the palace again?"

"Yes." Gu Jinan chuckled and handed her a cup of chilled plum juice. "If you don't want to go, just ignore him."

"Ninth Uncle..." But his kiss silenced her.

"Why are you still calling me Uncle? You're not really my niece."

[Arrogant young princess and the older man who spoils her rotten, with no blood relation.]
