    A marriage of convenience that blossoms into love, featuring two strong, slow-burning protagonists, a battle of wits, and mutual redemption. Rumor has it that the Crown Prince of Chu is blind and his internal organs are failing, not surviving past winter; while the princess sent for a political marriage is a weak and useless woman who only knows how to cry. On their wedding night, an assassin sneaks in, and the princess, startled, smashes a teacup, a shard of which accidentally cuts the assassin's throat; the Crown Prince weakly shrinks into the bed, but the silver needle on his fingertip accidentally pierces the assassin's vital point. The entire court awaits the spectacle of this short-lived couple's downfall. Until one dark and stormy night, the world's greatest poison doctor, Yaksha, and the leader of the Assassin's Guild, Yama, fight fiercely for the divine elixir, tearing off each other's masks, and both fall silent. Chu Mochen approached, his voice low and deep: "My beloved consort, your night attire is far more beautiful than your phoenix coronet and wedding robes during the day." Yan Yunqi sneered, brandishing her poisoned needle: "Your Highness, even with your eyes still open and your temper flaring, you're still much more pleasing to the eye than during the day!" When a dramatic princess with a built-in armor that reflects physical attacks tenfold meets a powerful, sickly tycoon, the entire capital is left in tears!

    The female lead's thought process is a bit quirky but not silly; her best friend's is even more quirky, and their son is rather dim-witted. The story of the male and female leads' arranged marriage followed by love goes without saying, and the female lead is pregnant before marriage—I wonder if that will suit my taste. There's a bit of bittersweetness, since it's not entirely sweet. It's a happy ending.
