A Concubine’s Daughter Takes Her Place as Bride: The Sickly Crown Prince’s Cherished Wife

Shen Qingyuan, the illegitimate daughter, was mistreated by her stepmother and bullied by her legitimate sister from childhood, then cruelly abandoned in the wilderness to fend for herself.

An imperial decree orders the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Revenue's household to marry the paralyzed, dying Crown Prince and bring him good fortune. Her stepmother hatches every kind of vicious scheme and forces Shen Qingyuan back home to take her place!

But after returning from the wilderness, Shen Qingyuan has long since shed her weakness. Her sharp edge leaves no one daring to bully her!

As soon as she enters the household, she tears off her stepmother's mask of kindness, puts insolent servants in their place, and confronts her biased father. Whoever tries to harm her will pay a hundredfold!

She only plans to protect her birth mother, settle old scores, and leave for good. But the supposedly violent, crippled, sickly Crown Prince clutches her hand and refuses to let go, his eyes filled with possessive affection. “Now that you've entered the Eastern Palace as my consort, don't even think of leaving!”

She coolly allies with him, helping him feign illness, seize power, and eliminate his political rivals. He cherishes her above all else, promises her the throne, and vows to protect her so she can live without a care.

Watch her rise from a lowly illegitimate daughter to the empress he dotes on above all others, turning the tables against all odds and becoming the supreme woman in the realm!
