The Substitute Bride Physician Becomes the God of War Prince’s Favorite

The news that Lu Henian was gravely ill shocked the entire court. The emperor alone sat on his throne, cheering inwardly.

Once, as the God of War and the Ninth Imperial Uncle, he wielded power over the court and thought nothing of even the emperor. But in the end, the person he trusted most poisoned him, leaving him crippled.

But there was still hope.

That day, Shen Wanwan smiled at him, her bright, shrewd eyes impossible to look away from. Sitting casually in a rocking chair, she spoke to him, word by word: “Imperial Uncle, let’s make a deal. I’ll cure you, and you’ll give me my freedom.”

He looked into those eyes and couldn’t bring himself to believe the rumors that she kept lovers and spent her nights in passionate indulgence.

But that single glance left him unable to escape her. Years later, she stood atop the palace wall and smiled at him. “Henian, do you know? If I had another life, I would still be willing to be your caged songbird.”

After transmigrating, Shen Wanwan found herself with a father who didn’t care for her and a mother who didn’t love her. Worse, she was forced to marry Lu Henian, who was gravely ill.

Knowing how important power was, she played the loyal underling, cured Lu Henian, and helped him devise his plans. She had only meant to shelter beneath a powerful ally while devoting herself to building her career, but one day, a man with tears in his eyes pinned her against the wall.

“Wanwan, what is your heart made of? Are you blind? Can’t you see how true my feelings are? I love you, and only you. I could give up the whole world. All I want is you.”
