Su Qingxi is the legitimate daughter of the Chancellor’s household, bold and forthright, afraid of nothing.
A decree from the emperor mistakenly betroths her to the man her younger sister loves. To make her sister happy, Su Qingxi gives her own bridal sedan chair to her and takes her place, marrying the frail, reclusive Prince Yong.
Before the age of eight, Prince Yong was cherished by his father, the emperor, and his mother, the empress. He was also exceptionally gifted. But when he was eight, his mother was framed and sent to the Cold Palace. She died not long afterward. Following her death, the emperor became utterly indifferent to him, ignoring him completely. From then on, the prince grew more and more withdrawn. He rarely spoke to anyone, never left his residence, and was terrified of the dark.
Su Qingxi’s arrival is like a beam of light, forcing its way into his dark world.
