After her parents die, Gu Junran has her family fortune stolen. Even the marriage arranged for her is about to be taken over by her cousin. She's surrounded by wolves and tigers on every side.
She has a nightmare in which she accidentally marries the Crown Prince. He offers a hundredweight of pearls as the betrothal gift, and everyone says she's lucky. But only Junran knows that after marrying him, they hardly see each other. The Crown Prince is as cold as frost and snow, always busy with his mountain of official duties.
When she wakes, pursuers are behind her and a tiger lies in wait ahead. Junran doesn't want to marry again, and hesitates outside her room.
The door opens. It's the Crown Prince again. He grabs her wrist, his gaze dark as an abyss.
Junran: So walking into the wrong room wasn't an accident?
After she marries him, the Crown Prince treats her well.
Junran: Just what went wrong?
*
Some people in the capital praise the Crown Prince as a paragon of grace and integrity; others call him deep and calculating. But when they hear he's going to marry a daughter of the fallen Gu family and make her Crown Princess, they all agree the marriage won't last.
Who could have guessed that the first thing the Crown Prince would do after ascending the throne was make that woman his empress, cherish her, and give her his undivided devotion?
A little scene:
Junran learned from storybooks that a woman could strike up a conversation with a man by letting her handkerchief fall. So she practiced over and over, trying to toss it into his arms without making it look deliberate.
Little did she know, the Crown Prince was watching her practice from the upper floor of a nearby tower, his expression cold.
His attendant snickered. "She's so clumsy. Who can't tell she's deliberately throwing herself at him?"
After the banquet began, the attendant saw the young lady flusteredly toss her handkerchief wide of the mark.
As the handkerchief was about to fall into the water, the attendant chuckled to himself.
But the next moment, he watched in disbelief as his Crown Prince leapt forward, risking everything to snatch it up!

Sad, there is no extra story after taking the throne
If you drink Jue Si Tang yourself and let your wife borrow seed from another man, does this mean you love the heroine? This is a brain disease. There are obviously many ways to avoid harming your wife's health during pregnancy, but this kind of stupid method simply doesn't match the prince's usually shrewd mind. The author tried too hard to write about the male protagonist loving his wife.
