In her previous life, Zhenzhen married the Crown Prince as a concubine. Her elder half-sister, the Crown Princess, disliked her, so she was confined until a fire broke out in the Cold Palace and burned her to death.

After being reborn, she decides to accept her father's arrangement and take her half-sister Yu Rou's place, marrying the unpredictable Fourth Prince, who also has a disability.

On their wedding night, Zhenzhen asks nervously, "Your Highness, is your leg all right?"

The Fourth Prince's gaze is deep. "It's no trouble."

II

At their first banquet as newlyweds, Zhenzhen accidentally knocks over a cup, spilling hot tea on the Fourth Prince's leg. Everyone's expression changes. A concubine once accidentally spilled hot porridge and was beaten to death on the spot. No one can bear to watch another tragedy unfold.

But the Fourth Prince simply takes Zhenzhen's hand, his face full of concern. "You didn't get burned, did you? Someone! Fetch the burn ointment!"

Everyone who was waiting to laugh at Zhenzhen is stunned. The once-cold Fourth Prince dotes on her with all his heart. Even Yu Rou, the eldest daughter of the Yu family, once famous throughout the capital, has to greet her respectfully and call her "Your Majesty, the Empress."

A few things to know:

1. One-on-one, both leads are virgins.

2. The male lead is only pretending to be disabled.

3. The setting is fictional. Don't overanalyze it.
