Chen Sui was the chancellor's legitimate daughter. At seventeen, she became the crown prince's consort.
Everyone said the crown prince was cold by nature and had married her only to gain the chancellor's support.
After their wedding, Chen Sui endured his coldness and even had to help raise his child.
She understood all of that. He had married her for her status, nothing more.
But hadn't she married him for power, too?
Later, the crown prince happened to overhear Chen Sui talking with a close friend, and finally came to his senses.
Rumor had it that the crown prince's miserable state during that time became the talk of the entire capital.
The poised, levelheaded crown prince who had always had everything under control seemed possessed. He stopped competing for the throne and spent all day clinging to his former crown princess, begging her to take him back.
