[On-screen comments + comparison heroine + palace intrigue + clear-headed beauty]
Xu Lingyue had spent fifteen years as the daughter of the Marquis of Zhenyuan’s household. When she was fifteen, the family’s true daughter came looking for her.
Brainwashed by the marquis’s household, she devoted herself to making plans for the true daughter, helping her become a famous and celebrated beauty of talent over the next three years.
She had thought the marquis’s household had raised her for years because they truly considered her family. But on the night before the true daughter entered the palace as a consort, they tricked Xu Lingyue into drinking a knockout drug and sent her to serve as a eunuch’s companion, all to pave the way for the true daughter.
What they hadn’t expected was that, just before drinking the drug, Xu Lingyue saw miraculous golden words appear before her eyes.
She willingly drank the drug, then got to the emperor before the true daughter could.
Since she was destined to enter the palace, Xu Lingyue would become the most exalted seductress in the land.
A replacement for the one he loved? His cherished first love?
She would seize the credit for saving the emperor, and she would seize his affections too!
She had thought that once he became emperor, he would dote on his first love. But the emperor’s gaze grew more and more strange as he looked at her on the bed.
“Wanwan, call me your husband, and the empress’s throne is yours.”
