The Mute Daughter of a Noble House Insists on Marrying the Sickly Heir

The most tragic political marriage in Great Zhao: a mute woman is married to a sickly man, the Marquis's household wants to cast off a burden, and the Prince of Dingbei wants to protect his bloodline.

But who could have guessed? The intertwined lotus on the bride's handkerchief is a poison trigger, and the ginseng soup in the groom's medicine bowl is laced with a slow-acting poison.

She tastes every poison to find the culprit for him. He shields her from every open and hidden attack by the Marquis's household. When the two face each other in a secret chamber,

she writes: "You're not sick at all?"

He laughs through a cough: "You're not mute at all?"

As the Medicine Pavilion reappears, an old case from the previous dynasty resurfaces, and the emperor grows suspicious... From the moment this supposedly doomed couple lifted their wedding veils, they were destined to turn this tangled game upside down.
