The Substitute Consort's Scheme Within Schemes

The Substitute Consort's Scheme Within Schemes Plot:

Forced to impersonate the deceased princess in marriage to Prince Chu, merchant's daughter Zhou Yingxun finds herself trapped in a viper's nest. The seemingly virtuous main consort Liu Ruyan poisons her tonic, while the prince's obsessive mourning masks dark secrets. When Zhou counterattacks by channeling the princess's spirit, Prince Chu pins her down, tracing the tear mole she doesn't possess: "Did you truly believe I'd be fooled?" In this deadly game of mirrors, the line between pawn and mastermind blurs with every whispered conspiracy.
