The Crown Prince dotes on the Crown Princess alone, but after three years of marriage, they still have no children.
So Xu Jingge, commander of the royal shadow guards, receives her final assignment before retirement: infiltrate the Eastern Palace, win the Crown Prince’s favor or help someone else win it, and make producing an heir the top priority.
Xu Jingge refuses at first.
But why is even the Crown Princess helping her?
The Crown Prince has someone else in his heart.
The Crown Princess knows, so in public they’re the perfect couple, but in private they live like widowed strangers.
The Emperor knows, so after losing a long tug-of-war, he gives that person back to the Crown Prince.
Xu Jingge doesn’t know. She thinks she’s supposed to be the other woman.
So she runs away with a baby on the way.
Xu Jingge: The longest road is the royal family’s web of schemes.
The Crown Prince: No, it’s the road I’m walking to reach your heart.
