Unparalleled Beauty

In her previous life, Mei Wushuang was a useless footnote under the dazzling light of her eldest sister’s story. Her own family, led by her ambitious sister, plotted to seize her marriage and dowry until she broke off the original engagement and married another man. Only after seeing her eldest sister marrying Prince Wei in her place did Wushuang suddenly see the truth. Years later, Prince Wei, Ji Yang, ascended the throne as Emperor. Her eldest sister became the virtuous empress that everyone praised, but Wushuang’s husband “sold his wife for glory” and offered her to her brother-in-law, the Emperor. She became the Lady Fengtian, a title whispered in hushed tones. Everyone said that she was a minister’s wife but had defiled the palace and bewitched the Emperor with her charm. “If the Mei family desires the Crown Prince,” Ji Yang declared, “he will be yours to birth.”

Then she died, and when she opened her eyes again, she had come back to life, back to that moment when her eldest sister had proposed the fateful marriage swap. —— The world only knew that Prince Wei, Ji Yang, was capricious, cruel by nature, and bloodthirsty, earning him the title of “Wife Killer.” However, they did not know that Prince Wei and Ji Yang were two souls sharing one body. The true Prince Wei was calm and restrained, a man of hidden depths and calculated ambition. The crazy Ji Yang acted recklessly and was violent and willful. For Prince Wei, marrying Mei Wushuang was a duty, the fulfillment of a promise, for Ji Yang, she was his medicine, and also his life. Prince Wei never imagined that one day he would be jealous of his other half, a jealousy that would haunt him across two lifetimes.
