Lush and Radiant

She is the sole surviving descendant of the loyal Shen family. The emperor arranges her marriage to the crown prince only so she can become a useless ornament at his side.

He is the legitimate son of the late empress, living in the Eastern Palace. His father despises him and his brothers surround him. Fighting is his only way to survive.

Everyone thinks the crown prince has married a burden.

Until she lashes the empress’s dignity to pieces with a whip,

steadies the border troops’ morale with a secret letter,

and fights by his side with fearless resolve as they carve a bloody path through the struggle for the throne.

When victory is finally assured, he gives the throne away.

“In this life, I only want to live a good life with Zhenzhen.”

Married first, love later. A powerful pair joining forces.
