Synopsis

Zhou Qingxiao was taken into Prince Xian’s residence at the age of ten. An illegitimate daughter kept hidden from the world, she endured endless bullying.

Gu Zhaoyun became the regent at eighteen, wielding power over the court. A prodigy from a young age, he was decisive and ruthless.

She played the coward and pitied herself, biding her time in silence. Everyone thought she was a pushover anyone could manipulate.

Until one night, she saved the regent, who had been poisoned.

She laid down her terms: “Tell me everything about Yaijing Mountain Manor, and I’ll cure you.”

He tightened his hand around her throat. “What is it you really want?”

She didn’t flinch. “You have no choice.”

She had been plotting against him from the very beginning, and he willingly walked into her trap.

When her true identity was revealed, the court was shaken, the empress dowager sent assassins after her, and the cavalry of Beixia pressed against the border.

Everyone thought she was just a frail woman who used men, until she commanded the battlefield with such skill that she turned the tide all on her own.

“I’m not a delicate flower who needs your protection. I want to be the pine tree at your side, shielding you from wind and rain.”

She anticipated every move, whether in the court’s intrigues or the battlefield’s open struggles.

He pointed his sword in every direction and never once questioned her.

He only knew that he was becoming more and more unable to live without her.

When he couldn’t see her, he missed her. When he saw her, he wanted to hold her. When he held her, he wanted to kiss her.

He thought he was going mad.

Until one day, the cold-faced prince lowered every defense in front of her, his eyes brimming with tears as he pouted like a child:

“Xiaoxiao, are you going to leave me?”

Who says the regent is ruthless and decisive? He’s clearly a hopeless romantic.

And her superpowers are medicine, strategy, and, most of all, a cure for hopeless romantics.
