Did Prince Jin Realize He Was a Stand-In?

In the capital, there lived a dissolute prince. Though handsome, he was cruel and violent, and no one dared provoke him.

He wielded immense power and could take a life with a mere wave of his hand. He had murdered his mother and harmed his elder brother, making him a feared scourge.

One day, while hunting in the woods, Prince Jin encountered a barbarian woman of unknown origins.

She had a petite, delicate appearance, yet unlike everyone else, she did not cower like a frightened bird at the sight of him. She gazed straight at him. "I only wish to stay by Your Highness's side and make you happy."

At first, Prince Jin paid her no heed.

But she refused to give up. To see him, she knelt before the palace in the scorching summer heat until she fainted. To win a smile from him, she went fishing in the river in winter, freezing until her whole body turned blue and purple.

Later, when Prince Jin was struck by a deadly poison, Shen Yuan did everything she could to pray for his recovery.

Prince Jin mocked her. "Would you die for me?"

Shen Yuan raised her hand and brought down the knife, without hesitation cutting out the blood from her heart to use as a medicinal primer to cure his poison.

"I only wish for Your Highness to be happy."

Looking at Shen Yuan, her face pale as paper and her life hanging by a thread,

Prince Jin finally felt a flicker of hesitation in his heart.

After he recovered, Prince Jin married Shen Yuan into his household as a secondary consort.

Shen Yuan was only a low-born orphan, so becoming a secondary consort was already an honor. He believed he had treated her well, and that she would surely be overcome with gratitude.

Until one night, Shen Yuan murmured in her sleep, uncontrollably calling out the name of his late elder brother: "Bao Yin, I miss you so much..."

Only then did Prince Jin realize that she had approached him only because he had a face resembling his elder brother's.

Many years ago, Bao Yin fell in love with the refined and elegant Prince Yuan.

But before she could confess her feelings, Prince Yuan died saving her.

From then on, she changed her name to Yuan, after him, and infiltrated the capital, all to repay her debt of gratitude.

There, she met his younger brother by the same mother, Prince Jin. He looked seven parts like him, but his temperament was entirely different.

For the sake of that resemblance, she began treating Prince Jin with every kindness, just so she could briefly return to his side.

As Shen Yuan cut out the blood from her heart, she thought: If she could save his younger brother, surely he would be happy in the afterlife.

When he first met her, he never even bothered to remember her name.

Shen Yuan, a crude girl from the barbarian lands, Shen Yuan, as elusive as the wind.

In the end, she became the most poisonous love spell lodged in his heart, leaving him unable to have her and driving him to the brink of madness.
