A marriage-alliance princess who’s sharp when solving cases but clueless about romance × a seemingly easygoing yet truly calculating, guiding and seductive crown prince who pretends to be chaste
(Doting romance, both leads are virgins, marriage before love, romance and crime-solving, success in both career and love. One-on-one romance, happy ending.)
Liang Xuening is as beautiful as a goddess and a brilliant physician. She was once a beloved princess in a matriarchal kingdom.
But after her cousin ascends the throne, she poisons Xuening’s mother, who had been regent, then forces Xuening to marry the crown prince of an enemy kingdom.
The prince is sickly and unloved by his father, with both his life and his position hanging by a thread.
Xuening attempts to escape under the guise of going to pray at a temple. She meets a cool, aloof monk who shows her the way, only to be captured and forced into marriage.
On their wedding night, Liang Xuening blinks at the groom illuminated by the red candles.
Why does his face look so much like the aloof monk who showed her the way?
Could he have deliberately sent her the wrong way that day?
Shaotian Ling has a miserable time as crown prince. He hides in an enemy kingdom, pretends to be ill and takes monastic vows. On the surface, he cultivates his character, but in reality, he trains in martial arts and bides his time.
He thought his fate was to keep up his disguise and walk alone through the cold darkness.
He never expected a young woman sent to marry him to enter his world.
She’s clever and quick-witted, sometimes mischievous. Together, they repeatedly foil their enemies’ schemes, solve one court mystery after another, and join forces to lay out their political strategies.
She’s a compassionate physician, always kindhearted. She understands the hardships behind his disguise, like a lamp that lights the darkness and warms the lonely cold.
So he decides that no matter what it takes, he’ll keep her by his side.
If she wants to become a miracle doctor and sample every herb, then he’ll try a hundred ways to win her heart.
