Qin Anyu has an incurable illness. One day, her soul transmigrates into another body and buys her more time, turning her into... a hapless princess consort who's alive, but won't be for long.
Her father wields great influence at court, yet has left her in a country estate for over a decade, never giving her a second thought.
Her mother was born into a powerful clan, but the whole family was wiped out long ago for treason.
An old family friend is powerful and influential, but has been targeted by the emperor for becoming too successful and is now struggling to look after himself.
A marriage contract throws a frail, helpless woman onto the chessboard of political power. Those eager to use her as a pawn are rubbing their hands together, while the God of War prince, dragged into the mess because of her, watches her like a hawk.
Qin Anyu: ...I'm done.
But for the sake of a healthy body, she'll put up with it.
Qin Anyu believes life is precious, and she's always been good at staying alive.
Zheng Junlin, Prince Xiao of the Zongming Kingdom, lost his mother as a child and was bullied by everyone. At five, he was sent to a neighboring kingdom as a bargaining chip. He spent ten years as a hostage, learning the hard way how little anyone cared for him.
The border wars never took the young hostage into account. The boy survived by squeezing through the cracks, then joined the army before he turned twenty. He quelled the wars and united the realm. Though he turned the tide, he also attracted countless wary, covetous eyes.
He knew the princess consort forced into his household was meant to keep him in check. But in the end, he still fell into this gentle trap, and was more than happy to stay there.
Two lonely souls lean on each other, and from then on, neither is alone.
