Synopsis

Childhood friends + Emperor and empress couple + Devoted love + Devoted to each other + Happy ending She is Ning Xinwan, the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Ning’s household. Born to a noble family, her father was personally granted the title of duke by the emperor, her mother is the legitimate daughter of a marquis, and the current empress is her maternal aunt. At six, she was given the title of Ronghua Commandery Princess by the emperor. He is Chu Yihong, the second legitimate son of Prince Ye, an unambitious royal who is frail and sickly but well-read and concerned for the world. The Duke and Duchess of Ning want their daughter to live a peaceful, carefree life, so they choose him, an overlooked member of the royal family. The two are promised to each other as children. Childhood friends, they grow up together in perfect harmony, and after Ning Xinwan comes of age, they naturally marry. Their love is steadfast, and they live together in perfect accord. But the current emperor has no sons, and the court is torn by arguments over who should inherit the throne. Prince Ye’s household is also drawn into the succession struggle. First, Chu Yihong’s eldest brother, Chu Yiran, heir to Prince Ye’s household, is chosen and made crown prince, while Chu Yihong succeeds him as heir. But not long after Chu Yiran takes the throne as crown prince, he is assassinated and dies. Later, Prince Ye is poisoned and dies, and Chu Yihong inherits his title. After all these upheavals, the emperor finally chooses Chu Yihong as his heir and makes him crown prince, making Ning Xinwan crown princess. The couple have always wanted to stay out of the power struggle, but they are drawn into the fight for the throne all the same and ascend to the highest seat. Yet neither of them has ever coveted the wealth and glory it brings.
