On the night of the Festival of Lights, Mother secretly took me out to wander the streets. Then, out of nowhere, a man and a woman stepped into our path. The man stared at my mother, his eyes turning red. "Emmeline?" The woman's gaze locked on me. She grabbed the man's sleeve, suddenly frantic. "Cedric, look! Those eyes, that face... She's our daughter, Rosalind!" She rushed toward me with her arms open wide. "Rosalind, I'm your mother!" I was so scared that I scrambled behind my mother. Mother pulled me behind her without a word. Her face gave nothing away. The man approached, looking guilty and full of himself at the same time. "Emmeline, it must have been hard on you all these years, raising my daughter with Seraphina so well. Now that I've returned to the capital, I'll make it up to you. I still remember the promise we made, our betrothal. "But Seraphina is already my lawful wife, so I'm afraid you'll have to settle for being a concubine." I was stunned. My father was the reigning Emperor. My mother was the Empress. What in the world was this man talking about?

The day my elder sister stole my fiancé from me, I did not fight back. Instead, I slipped past the maid guarding me and went straight to find my father. “She can have my fiancé. I’m marrying the Regent!” My father stared at me in shock. Everyone knew the Regent was in charge, but rumors said he could not father a child and had a nasty temper. What they did not know was that I was born under heaven’s favor—blessed with the gift of life itself. In my previous life, that blessing became my curse. My elder sister and stepmother smeared my name, claiming that my curves and easy fortune meant I had been defiled before marriage. My fiancé was disgusted and turned away from me. That was when my sister seized the chance to take my place. Even on her wedding day, my sister was not at ease. She had me dragged away like a lowly servant and sent to a brothel, ordering the madam to torture me. While I lay dying in the dark, she lived in the light, bearing children with my former fiancé and enjoying a lifetime of happiness that should have been mine. Now that I had been given another life, I refused to bow to fate again. She might have stolen my fiancé, but she could never take the blessing I was born with.

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess has caused trouble again." Lucien didn't look up from the document in his hands. "How unfortunate." The attendant hesitated. "She confiscated House Drayke's grain." Lucien's pen stopped. "Why?" "They refused to open their warehouses during the capital's shortage, selling only to nobles.” "And?" "The Crown Princess broke the locks." Lucien finally looked up. "She did what?" "She broke the locks, counted every sack, and ordered the grain distributed to the lower districts." A silence followed. Then Lucien calmly returned to his document. "Good." The attendant blinked. "Your Highness?" "Anything else?" "House Drayke is furious. Their patriarch has demanded that Her Highness be punished for humiliating a Great House." Lucien's expression didn't change. "Then punish him first." The attendant stared. "...For what offense?" Lucien finally raised his eyes. "For making my Crown Princess do his work." *** Three weeks after nearly drowning in a lotus pond, Crown Princess Adeline had already managed to offend three ministers, two Great Houses, half the Imperial Palace, and her husband's stepmother. What nobody knew was that Adeline wasn't really Adeline. She was Seraphine, the ruthless northern general presumed dead on the battlefield. She inherited the broken household of the supposedly dying Crown Prince, where servants stole freely and officials answered to no one. Unfortunately for them, not only did she know what corruption looked like, she knew how to bring unruly officials in line. She never expected to awaken in the body of the wallflower crown princess. Nor did she expect her supposedly useless husband. Lucien was supposed to be sickly, weak, and dying. Adeline quickly discovers that the rumors surrounding him are not quite true. And Lucien discovers something even more troublesome. His new wife has absolutely no intention of behaving like a Crown Princess.
