Su Wanqing is the lowly illegitimate daughter of the Minister of Personnel. Her birth mother died young, and she has endured endless torment at the hands of her stepmother and legitimate elder sister, like a wildflower no one notices. Yet a marriage contract forces her to take another woman's place and marry Xiao Jing, the disabled prince rumored to be cruel, violent, and utterly ruthless. Everyone laments, “Wanqing is doomed. She’s going to her death, a beauty who will never return.” On their wedding night, her bridal veil is lifted, and she meets his cold, hawk-like gaze as he sizes her up.

The cold-faced prince gradually realizes that this lowborn bride who took another woman’s place is nothing like he imagined. She saves him during a night when his poison flares up and foils the scheme that has trapped him. Her eyes are clear, but deep down she is every bit as stubborn and clever as he is. When he can no longer resist pulling her into his arms to protect her, he declares, “She’s mine. Who dares lay a hand on her?” Then the mystery of her identity is suddenly revealed, unleashing a storm… See how this humble illegitimate daughter defies fate amid one crisis after another, wins the heart of the cold-faced prince, and writes a tale of dazzling splendor all her own!
