This novel's blurb:

A deranged, possessive imperial brother & a sister who just wants to coast through life, acting sweet and obedient while hiding her dark side

(The male lead is truly insane. Later, he goes mad with love and chases her through the crematorium.)

-

In her previous life, Xie Jingzhi devoted herself to her maternal clan, hoping to compete for the most exalted seat in the realm.

She schemed and struggled at every turn, calculating every heart, until, just as she was about to succeed, she suddenly discovered she was nothing but a fake, brought in to replace the real princess.

Awkward.

Reborn, Xie Jingzhi had planned to behave herself and be an unambitious, useless princess. But she unexpectedly found herself caught up in the treacherous game again, right in front of Xie Yao, the mad imperial brother from her previous life.

She still remembers the palace coup in her previous life. The main hall was piled with corpses, and her usually gentle and mild-mannered imperial brother calmly carried a bowl of poisoned wine to the Emperor.

Xie Jingzhi decides to keep a low profile this time around, hoping only that Xie Yao will spare her life in the future.

At first, they were only pretending and using each other. Xie Jingzhi thought they owed one another nothing, but Xie Yao's gaze grew more and more intense by the day.

-

Xie Yao is naturally cold and enjoys toying with people's hearts.

He knew from the start that Xie Jingzhi was not his real sister, but never exposed her. He simply watched from the sidelines, waiting to see her fall from the clouds one day.

But suddenly, one day, his "sister" seemed to become a different person and started fawning over him in every way.

Xie Yao thinks she must be trying to manipulate him.

He knows she is deliberately getting close to him, but Xie Yao still can't control himself from falling for her. Suddenly, he thinks it might be nice to keep up the act.

And then...

Xie Jingzhi runs away.

She leaves without the slightest regret. Having cast off the identity of a fake princess, there is no one left in the world who can bind her.

His dark thoughts gradually grow like vines, wild and untamed.

Later, when they meet again, they face off with blades drawn. Xie Yao neither dodges nor retreats. His moon-white robe is stained crimson, yet his face still bears a smile as clear as the breeze and bright moon, while his eyes brim with malice and obsession.

"Where are you planning to run off to this time, Dan Dan?"

1. Fictional history, with plenty of original worldbuilding.

2. This is my first time writing a novel, so please be kind. I hope fate brings us together.

---Coming soon---

In the fifteenth year of Chunyou, the fifth princess, Zhao Yaoyao, is captured by an enemy kingdom.

The Emperor is furious. He orders Left Chancellor Li Qingyan to negotiate at the border, while also commanding the Crown Prince to select elite Eastern Palace guards to secretly infiltrate enemy territory under cover of the talks and rescue the fifth princess.

At the order, the guards' camp is thrown into chaos. No one wants to accept a mission that is all but certain death.

Unfortunately, Su Yao is the unlucky one chosen after an exhaustive search.

Before she leaves, Zhao Ran tenderly strokes Su Yao's face. His gentle eyes are full of affection. "Yao'er, you are the finest guard in the Eastern Palace. You are exceptionally gifted, skilled in every weapon and every poison. You are the right person for this mission."

"When you return, I will marry you."

Su Yao: ...That's a misunderstanding. I may be a genius, but that's not the point.

Su Yao knows perfectly well that Zhao Ran chose her simply because her face resembles the pampered, highly favored fifth princess.

Once the fifth princess is smuggled out, Su Yao will take her place and continue to endure humiliation in enemy territory.

One sacrifice, two problems solved.

It will fulfill the Crown Prince's wish to save his sister and the Left Chancellor's wish to win the heart of the woman he loves.

-

Left Chancellor Li Qingyan is The Outcast, revered by all. He has the refined, otherworldly looks of an immortal, yet treats human lives as worthless. His power is so vast that even the Emperor cannot control him.

One step further would topple the dynasty, but Li Qingyan has only ever loved the fifth princess. He is willing to remain a subject for the rest of his life, just so the moon in his heart can shine forever in the night sky.

The Crown Prince devotes himself to governing well and considers eliminating corrupt ministers a sacred duty. Su Yao, the sharpest blade in the Eastern Palace, once had only one mission: assassinate Li Qingyan.

Countless people in the world want Li Qingyan dead, but only Su Yao has ever brought him to the brink of death.

Su Yao thinks Li Qingyan will kill her one day.

Later, the rescue plan is exposed. On the city tower, Su Yao and the fifth princess are both taken hostage.

The enemy general asks Li Qingyan, "Only one can live, the fifth princess or this person. Lord Li, who do you choose?"

Su Yao, "this person": ...Even a stand-in has dignity. There's no need to ask such an obvious question.

Just as expected, the taciturn Chancellor Li doesn't even answer. He simply raises his bow.

One arrow through the heart, right on target.

-

When Su Yao opens her eyes again, she is dressed in a phoenix crown and bridal robes. She looks in the mirror and discovers, horrified, that she has somehow taken over the fifth princess's body.

The man before her, dressed in a red robe embroidered with gold and beautiful as jade, is none other than Li Qingyan.

Their wedding banquet: the perfect time for revenge.

But the fifth princess's body is delicate and weak, and Su Yao has lost all her martial arts. She is trying to figure out how to make her move when the peerless Lord Li suddenly leans over her. His slightly tipsy eyes are unguarded in a way she has never seen before.

His normally serene, clear voice trembles.

"A-Yao..."

A melodramatic stand-in and white moonlight story. The male lead and second male lead are both unhinged, but they only love the heroine.

Theme: Become a better version of yourself.
