From Prince's Decoy to True Emperor

Transported from the modern era, elite special forces soldier Li Sanqing finds himself thrust into ancient imperial politics when he is captured and forced to act as a body double for the crown prince. His very first assignment? Seduce the crown princess. Meanwhile, Crown Prince Li Mi harbors a closely guarded secret: she is actually a woman, forced to masquerade as a male heir to secure the throne amidst treacherous palace intrigues. Desperate to protect her identity, she plucked a stranger off the streets who bore an uncanny resemblance to her, planning to mold him into the ultimate decoy. However, as Sanqing steps into the role, the boundaries between the decoy and the throne begin to blur. Soon, the real prince finds herself bewildered and cornered as Sanqing's influence expands across every faction—from rebel leaders to secret religious cults. With a foreign empress now scheduled to arrive for a political marriage, Sanqing can only shrug as he wonders just how many more hidden identities he has left to reveal.
