His Majesty's Daily Elbow from Concubine 'Coffee'
An escaped substitute consort transforms into a dark-skinned, homely imperial selection candidate. Every night, the Emperor corners her, pressing with questions: 'My beloved, this body... why does it look more and more familiar to Me?' Xu Leyang, who once served as the substitute Crown Princess Song Shiwei, fled the Emperor's side just as she was on the verge of being elevated to Empress. Three years later, by an ironic twist of fate, she is compelled to participate in the imperial selection under her true identity, Xu Leyang. To prevent the Emperor from recognizing her, Xu Leyang deliberately tans her skin, adopts an unsightly appearance, and makes repeated blunders. Unbeknownst to her, the Emperor has been relentlessly searching for his deeply beloved true wife, Song Shiwei. As he interacts with Xu Leyang, he gradually uncovers her real identity. The two engage in a high-stakes battle of wits and emotional entanglement within the palace, ultimately overcoming numerous obstacles to forge a lifelong bond as an inseparable pair.
