A Shocking Substitute Marriage: The Crown Prince's Captive in His Palm

In the winter of the seventy-eighth year of the Yinyue Dynasty, an imperial decree arranged a marriage between Su Qingyu, hailed as the dynasty’s greatest beauty and talent, and Crown Prince Yin Chen. On the eve of the wedding, the gifted young woman disappeared, bringing disaster upon her entire family.

To save her family, the eldest daughter, Su Qianmo, who had been branded an ill omen since childhood and confined to the family estate, was forced to marry in her sister’s place. She entered the forbidding Eastern Palace in a bridal gown. On their wedding night, her identity was exposed beneath the red veil, and from then on she fell into an abyss.

Crown Prince Yin Chen was a cold and calculating heir. He treated her as a pawn and an object of humiliation, throwing her into a woodshed and tormenting her at will. A wager on a snowy night, with her life at stake, pushed her to the brink of death.

Surrounded by contempt, intrigue, and cruel trials, Su Qianmo held on through sheer pride and endurance. The vermilion mark on her chin, which appeared whenever she was in pain, was the only clue to the mystery of her birth, as well as a symbol of her refusal to surrender to fate.

When cold political schemes collide with a burning will to survive, and a false marriage gives rise to unexpected entanglements...

This is a deception in the name of love, and a rebirth forged in the depths of despair.
