[A scheming, tearful top vs. a suspicious, decisive bottom; dual male leads + two powerful leads + devoted couple + secret identities + love at first sight + happy ending + sweet married life]
With war imminent, the emperor can think of only one solution: a marriage alliance.
In Lingshui, women hold power, but the country’s military strength is not to be underestimated.
Han Lingqing, a prince who lives off the state, is now an ideal candidate for the alliance.
When they first meet, a fake doctor from the common people comes to treat his poison.
The moment their lips touch, he becomes entangled with the person beneath him, unable to break free.
“Let go!”
“No!”
After the marriage, Nan Gong Yun gradually wins Han Lingqing over, and Han Lingqing begins to develop feelings for him. But when he finds out Nan Gong Yun is a man, he retreats.
Behind this marriage alliance, the real beneficiary is watching from the shadows.
When military power slips away, Lingshui will fall.
At that time, they are both at their lowest.
“Consort, since you can’t accept that I’m a man, go back to Daqin.”
He watches his consort turn away without hesitation and smiles faintly. “You truly have no heart.”
After he leaves, the next time Han Lingqing hears any news, Lingshui has already been destroyed, and his former “wife” has been beheaded, her head hung above the city gate.
Dazed, he looks at the face that is identical to the person in his heart. His pain overcomes reason.
By the time he realizes his feelings for that person, it’s too late for regrets.
“Your Majesty, it’s been me all along, for ten years.”
