Xia Zhiyi, the third daughter of the general, was born bright and lovely, good at caring, straightforward but timid and weak, and would clumsily fight back when she was wronged. The two brothers in the family who were in the army were extremely controlling of their sister and were reluctant to let her get married.
She and the current prince Shen Qingzhou were childhood sweethearts. In the eyes of outsiders, the prince was cold, ruthless, and good at maneuvering. He married several concubines in order to check and balance the court. He was a tyrant that everyone feared. But this coldness was only against Xia Zhiyi.
In private, he would show childish coquettishness to her, and would often say seductive secret words that would make the girl blush. He would only give her his affection, and the back seat would be reserved only for her from beginning to end.
Xia Zhiyi didn't know how cruel he was in court, but she just thought he was so gentle to everyone. The two fell in love, and he patiently waited for her to grow up. When she was seventeen, he finally asked the emperor for a marriage proposal, and wanted to marry the girl he had cherished since childhood as the crown princess.
Concept: In the East Palace, where the power is overwhelming, there is a sincerity that only belongs to two people.
