My Crown Princess Title Was Stolen? I Turned Around and Married the Crown Prince’s Father

[Sweet Romance, One Couple Only + Face-Slapping the Villains + Mutual Healing as They Find Their Way to Each Other]

Lu Lingyao, the real daughter of the Marquis of Pingning, was switched at birth on purpose and raised in the countryside for more than a decade. She wasn’t found and brought back to the marquis’s estate until she came of age.

After suffering so much, she assumed her family would spoil her rotten to make up for all the love she had missed. Not only did she compete with the marquis’s adopted daughter for their affection, she was determined to win the crown prince’s favor.

Only after being reborn over and over did she gradually understand where she stood.

It turned out she was nothing but a wicked supporting character nobody liked.

The crown prince despised her; her parents hated and guarded against her. To extinguish her hopes of marrying into the Eastern Palace, they even harmed her and ruined her reputation.

Once she accepted reality, Lu Lingyao kept reassuring herself: “Giving up and doing nothing is not an option.”

She clung fiercely to the principles of a villainess, determined to keep walking the wicked path to the very end.

While the marquis’s adopted daughter fought tooth and nail against noblewomen in the Eastern Palace, Lu Lingyao was sneaking off the mysterious tyrant’s bed.

From then on, the tyrant adored her beyond reason and cherished her to the depths of his heart.

Some people resented her, saying she was only a stand-in for the late empress.

Lu Lingyao was perfectly happy with that. One way or another, she only wanted to outlive the tyrant, infuriate the crown prince, and become an empress dowager with power over all.

Then one day, Lu Lingyao looked at the portrait enshrined in the tyrant’s Buddhist altar. The more she looked, the more it resembled her, and she realized something was wrong.

The tyrant tore off his mysterious mask, revealing the face he had kept hidden for over a decade. “There was never any stand-in. You are the only empress I have ever had.”

Only then did Lu Lingyao learn that the cold-faced tyrant, who had never believed in gods or Buddha, had kept an eternal lamp burning there for ten lifetimes as he searched for her.
