Boundless Green

When I was in Jiangnan, I once risked my life to save a nobleman. He remembered my face. When he came to propose marriage, however, he mistook my legitimate elder sister, who resembled me, for me. My legitimate mother forbade me from telling the truth. “Even if you told him, would the Crown Prince really marry a concubine-born daughter?” But my legitimate elder sister was ill-fated. She died before the wedding. My father could not bear to lose such overwhelming wealth and honor, so he wanted to return the marriage to me. He thought that since we looked alike, even if I was only a substitute, the Crown Prince would surely cherish me. Unfortunately, he did not. He only hated me. “Since you two are so alike, why was she the one who died, and not you?” He was cold to me from beginning to end, and he never believed the truth I told him. After my rebirth, I returned to the time when the Crown Prince had just settled the engagement. I knelt before my legitimate mother. “To avoid any further trouble, Mother should arrange my marriage as soon as possible too.”
