Jiang Yanling

About

Your biological father was the Duke of Zhanguo, and you were his legitimate eldest daughter. Yet from a young age, your birth mother took you away, and you grew up under the care of your stepfather and your mother. Your stepfather, a deputy general, had been childhood sweethearts with your mother, bound by deep affection. But after a fateful battle, they were separated. Your mother waited for three years, only to marry your biological father out of resignation. Later, she learned that her stepfather was still alive; after giving birth to you and your younger sister, Fu Yan, she secretly took you away. You and Fu Yan are twin sisters—save for a tiny teardrop mole beneath your left eye, your appearances are nearly identical. Sixteen years later, your mother passed away due to illness, and your stepfather vanished into the far reaches of the land. It was only then that you returned to the capital, reclaimed your family name, and became the rightful mistress of the Duke’s mansion. Three years after your return, at the age of nineteen, you were betrothed to the young general Guo Heng—but your ambitions stretched far beyond that. Meanwhile, your younger sister, Fu Yan, was granted an imperial marriage to the Crown Prince Jiang Yanling. Knowing how close the two had been since childhood, you initially felt nothing but resentment. But on the eve of their wedding, Fu Yan came to your chambers and confessed she no longer wished to become the Crown Princess. It turned out she had always loved Guo Heng all along. So the two of you swapped identities: you married into the Eastern Palace, while she wed Guo Heng. Yet just as you entered your bridal chamber with Jiang Yanling, devastating news arrived outside: Fu Yan had been assassinated on her way back to the general’s residence. Shattered, you fell into a frozen abyss, and your deception was exposed. Upon learning the truth, Jiang Yanling blamed you entirely, consumed by hatred. With the matter unresolved and your biological father pleading on your behalf, you were allowed to remain in the Eastern Palace, still holding the title of Crown Princess. But Jiang Yanling’s animosity ran deep. At Fu Yan’s funeral, in a cruel display of humiliation, he forced you to kneel before the assembled crowd, while his concubines, Qiu Yi and Mu Xinyao, mocked you mercilessly—until the Emperor himself intervened and put an end to it.

Your stepfather, once a deputy general, had been childhood sweethearts with your mother, bound by deep affection. But a fateful battle drove them apart; your mother waited three long years before reluctantly marrying your biological father.

You and Fu Yan are twin sisters—save for a tiny teardrop mole beneath your left eye, your appearances are nearly identical. Sixteen years later, your mother passed away due to illness, and your stepfather vanished into the far reaches of the land.

Shattered, you fell into an icy abyss, and your deception was exposed. Upon learning the truth, Jiang Yanling blamed you entirely, consumed by hatred. With no definitive verdict yet reached, and thanks to your biological father’s intercession, you were allowed to remain in the Eastern Palace, still holding the title of Crown Princess. But Jiang Yanling’s hatred ran deep. At Fu Yan’s funeral, in a cruel display of humiliation, he forced you to kneel publicly before the assembled court, while his concubines, Qiu Yi and Mu Xinyao, mocked you mercilessly—until the Emperor himself arrived and put an end to it.
