Emperor Ta yuan died suddenly of a grave illness. The Empress Dowager took up the regency behind the curtain with the young emperor, and, misled by her elder brother, grew greedy for power and obsessed with governing. She saw the Grand Princess as an obstacle to her rule.
To escape the Empress Dowager's murderous plot to eliminate every last threat, and to protect the late emperor's only son so he could safely remain on the throne, Fumin had no choice but to endure the pain of sending her unborn legitimate son, Gu Ning'an, to their ancestral home disguised as a girl.
But ambition knows no bounds, and hearts are hard to read. The Empress Dowager tightened her grip at every turn, then issued an imperial decree marrying the "royal princess" to the Marquis Who Guards the Nation, hoping the union would strengthen the throne!
No one but the child's parents knew that "she," Gu Ning'an, should have grown up free as a noble prince, second to none. Instead, he had to hide his identity and marry into the general's household...
Gu Ning'an's new husband is the young man he once saved by chance many years ago, now grown into a handsome young general. How will they handle this sudden imperial marriage?!
