The Emperor’s Gifted White Moonlight

An imperial edict binds the ill-matched pair Song Tingxuan, Duke of Wei, and Princess Yongning, Liu Chun, in marriage.

He was once the one she cherished above all, but he cut their ties in the name of “reason.”

She once gave him her whole heart, only to vow through tears to leave him forever when disappointment wore her down.

Now the emperor’s decree, as binding as an iron shackle, drags them back into a game of love and hate.

On their wedding night, she is cold as ice, and he keeps his distance in silence. Beneath the blazing red candles, they share a bed but dream separate dreams.

The court seethes with hidden currents, and the contest for the heir’s position threatens to erupt. Their marriage, born of political scheming, becomes a battlefield neither can avoid.

She buries the feelings of her youth and, with the dignity of a princess, takes charge of the household, advancing cautiously at every turn.

He reins in his sharp edge, hiding a stirring of the heart beneath a mask of indifference, unaware of it himself.

When suspicion and caution shatter their disguises, and old misunderstandings collide with feelings rekindled from the ashes...

“There should never have been anything between us,” she says.

He takes her hand and whispers in her ear, “I accept the marriage the Emperor bestowed upon us. And I choose you, all the more.”

Is this entanglement, begun by imperial decree, a casualty of the struggle for power, or a chance to mend what was broken?

When an iceberg meets a flame, watch this “ill-matched couple” turn a marriage arranged by the emperor into a love that burns deep in their hearts, as they stumble from political intrigue into devotion.
