The heroine is a noblewoman from a distinguished family, but when her clan incurs the royal court's wrath and is condemned, she has no choice but to ask to marry the emperor's ninth son as his secondary wife. Only royal relatives can spare her clan from extermination.
The Ninth Prince agrees to take her into his household, but he has other grudges to settle. The mental and physical torment he inflicts on her is beyond anything she could have imagined. Yet she must cling to life: her life is the life of her entire clan. She cannot take her own life or flee. Amid endless humiliation, political schemes, and household intrigue, how can she keep herself alive? The story also follows the heroine and the Ninth Prince as they move past the misunderstanding that he had her mother framed and killed, fall in love for certain special reasons, and, with her by his side, seize the throne. This is an ancient love story about a woman who accompanies her beloved as he ascends the throne and becomes emperor.
