Before she died after escaping from marriage, Zhaodi had read the fairy tale about the emperor and the queen, "A couple for a lifetime", but she had never thought about the story after the ending of the sweet novel...
From "Zhao Di" to "Lang Zeruo", she walked through death, but entered a chess game designed by a superior.
The orphan girl who froze to death in the wilderness in her previous life became a tool to protect the family's honor in this life, so what? It will never be worse than before.
Lang Zeruo keeps his mission in mind: learn etiquette well, be a good queen, and protect the princess cousin.
Until she met the newly appointed crown prince, Song Qian, the only son of the late prince.
"Cooperate," he reached out to her, "I will help you get rid of the phoenix crown, and you will help me stay away from the dragon throne."
The two worked together seamlessly until she blocked a fatal arrow for him.
He hugged her with red eyes: "If you die, I will let the whole world bury you with you!"
Langzeruo: "... Your Highness, the drama is over, our goal is to make you give up the throne."
Later, on the eve of his ascension to the throne, he really gave up the power that was within his reach. All the civil and military officials in the court knelt down to beg her mother to honor the world, but she turned around and picked up her bags.
------------------------------------------
At first, Song Qian thought that he and Lang Zeruo were excellent allies.
He protects her weak points, and she smooths the way forward for him, agreeing that the day they succeed will be the time to part ways.
But he gradually discovered that she didn't want the back position, but Haiyan Heqing; and he didn't want imperial power, but the spring glory in her eyes.
(She is the only light in his dark world, and he is the only solution to her prisoner life.)
