Everyone says Shen Qingyan, the discarded daughter of Chancellor Shen, is stupid and dim-witted. Sent to take another woman's place in a marriage to Prince Qi, she is destined to live no more than six months.
The man she is marrying is Xiao Heng, the Prince of Qi, who is afflicted with a deadly poison and known for his cold, ruthless temper.
Everyone is certain she will meet a tragic end at the prince's manor.
Little do they know that this seemingly foolish and mild-mannered young princess consort is the most cunning of all, and the boldest flirt.
She pretends to be foolish and weak, playing along with their schemes to marry into the manor. She is undercover to complete a mission, yet she also helps him suppress the poison and turn the tables, quietly getting hold of every soft spot of this aloof prince.
One night, when the poison flares up, he grips her waist, his breath burning hot and possessiveness surging in his eyes.
"Shen Qingyan, you keep throwing yourself at me to save me. Aren't you afraid I'll cling to you for the rest of my life?"
She nestles obediently in his arms, a sly smile hidden at the corner of her lips.
"If Your Highness wants to cling to me, then go ahead. I'll always welcome you."
Everyone thinks she depends on him to survive.
Only Xiao Heng knows the truth:
He is the one who has fallen completely into her hands, willingly letting her flirt with him for the rest of his life.
Cruel and cold-blooded to the outside world, he spoils her without restraint, showering her alone with all the affection in the world.
As turmoil rises and the court descends into chaos,
Shen Qingyan devises a plan to protect herself and the one she loves. Once it is in place, she fakes her death and escapes.
Word spreads that the Princess of Qi has "died" suddenly. The whole city mourns, and rumors abound.
Everyone mocks Prince Qi, saying he is now all alone.
Only Xiao Heng keeps silent, guarding the empty manor as he waits for his little princess consort to return.
