Su Wanqing, a modern-day artifact restorer, unexpectedly transmigrates into the body of Shen Qingci, an illegitimate daughter of a declining noble family in ancient times. She is forced to marry Xiao Jue, the violent-tempered, wheelchair-bound Prince of Jing, to bring him good fortune. On their wedding night, he threatens to strangle her, then abandons her in a remote courtyard. Instead of a life of luxury, she faces danger at every turn.
He was once a fearsome god of war, renowned for his military achievements. Now confined to a wheelchair and poisoned, he is suspicious and world-weary, seeing everything as a scheme or betrayal. In his eyes, she is the most pathetic pawn of all, a weak and helpless woman from the enemy camp.
Yet her modern knowledge and indomitable resilience take root in the depths of despair. Through repeated brushes with death and one conspiracy after another, she becomes the only glimmer of light he can approach when his poison flares up in agony, and a stone cast into the frozen lake of his heart.
They test each other and wound each other, locked in an intense tug-of-war between hatred and desire. When the truth tears them apart and trust crumbles, she is heartbroken and determined to leave, while he has already fallen deeply in love without realizing it.
A love that crosses time burns fiercely amid power struggles and heart-wrenching romance. She is the one thorn lodged in his broken life: pulling her out would make his heart ache, while holding her close leaves him bleeding. Watch as a modern soul navigates the treacherous currents of the prince’s manor, pierces the heart of a fearsome warrior, and ultimately wins a love meant to last a lifetime, shared by two alone.
