The Emperor's Substitute Bride

Clara Sutton, daughter of a concubine, is forced to become her half-sister Miranda Sutton's maid due to their resemblance. When Miranda has a rendezvous with the Ninth Prince, Matron Jenson coerces Clara, forcing her to take her sister's place with Emperor Alaric Pierce. This substitution plunges her into the struggles of the imperial harem. She foils Miranda's schemes and counterattacks, allying with Cassia against the Sutton family, to overthrow her half-sister.
