She Wore My Face, And He Loved Her More

Synopsis

I was once the most favored mistress of the King of Valcaryn Regnum. Too favored. While the King was away, the other mistresses joined forces. They staged a silent coup and poisoned me to death. When I opened my eyes again, I had been reborn as a nameless palace maid. "The King dismissed the entire harem for Lady Celeste. She alone remains at his side." "They say he treasures Lady Celeste like his own sight. If she were to lose even a single strand of hair, he would grieve." "He built the Astral Ascension Tower solely for her. It is filled with untold riches, and no one else is permitted to enter." Only then did I understand. The affection he once showed me had been nothing more than spectacle. Beside Lady Celeste, I had never truly been chosen. And when I finally saw Lady Celeste with my own eyes, my blood ran cold. She wore my face.
