Jiang Ci and Li Chenglin had only met a few times, yet on the day Jiang Ci was sentenced to death, the always composed and dignified Princess Royal lost her cool for the first time. She risked the crime of treason by leading troops to storm the imperial prison, and in front of countless witnesses, she called Jiang Ci by her childhood name and pulled her into her embrace.

Only then did Jiang Ci realize: she had a face that Li Chenglin could never forget.

After being reborn, Jiang Ci proceeded with caution, deliberately drawing close to Li Chenglin.

She intended to use this face to confuse her, deceive her, seduce her. As long as she could achieve her goal, she didn’t care about being just a substitute.

She incited her to rebel and seize the throne—but when Li Chenglin insisted on making her Empress, Jiang Ci faked her death in an attempt to escape.

What she didn’t expect was that Li Chenglin would descend into madness, refusing to bury her, hugging her “corpse” to sleep every night, and whispering in her ear with near insanity:

> “A’Ci, since you’ve provoked me, don’t even think of escaping. Even in death, you will forever belong to me.”

(Controlling! Jealousy drives them crazy! Both are virgins! A seemingly innocent but actually cunning and possessive powerful minister vs. a resilient and scheming delicate flower)

Jiang Yu married the Grand Secretary, a man of gentle and refined character.

He washed his hands and cooked for her, and styled her hair in front of the mirror; because she was frail, he never parted with a string of white jade bodhi beads from then on.

People say he is a holy Buddhist disciple who has fallen into the mortal world.

Until Jiang Yu caught sight of him in the Buddhist hall, where he wrapped a jade bodhi around someone's neck and indifferently strangled that person to death...

Jiang Yu then realized that his feigned gentleness was nothing more than a golden cage he had woven to trap her.

One day, while they were intimately close, Jiang Yu plunged a dagger into his heart and then ran away.

Pushing open the gate of the mansion a thousand miles away, she found her husband, who should have been dead, smiling coldly. He wrapped the blood-stained white jade bodhi around her wrist, kissing it reverently, "Yu'er, running away will be punished..."
