After an imperial decree arranged her marriage, Xie Chunchao was forced to return to the capital from the borderlands and move into the Crown Prince's residence, where she was to prepare to become his future Crown Princess. In truth, Xie Chunchao had only one reason for returning: to investigate the truth behind her uncle's old case and her mother's death.
She thought that with her own efforts and the Crown Prince's help, she could bring the truth to light. But the clues kept appearing and then going cold, and the investigation was fraught with danger.
By chance, Xie Chunchao met the frail Prince Jing, Yuan Jing'an. What began as a desire to repay him for saving her life gradually turned into a wish to cure his illness. Before either of them realized it, their feelings had begun to grow.
But Yuan Jing'an had no idea what Xie Chunchao's real relationship with the Crown Prince was. All he knew was that she was a remarkable woman who had to call him "Imperial Uncle." Torn by his feelings again and again, Yuan Jing'an was endlessly grateful that he still had this body, which could help him keep Xie Chunchao by his side, even if only for a few brief moments. That was enough.
Synopsis 2:
In the spring of the thirteenth year of the Yuan era, a rumor spread through the capital: Xie Chunchao, daughter of the Protector General who was stationed far away on the border, would soon return to become the Crown Princess.
The gossips said that Crown Prince Yuan Lixi was handsome and refined, as beautiful as Pan An, and gentle by nature. Most importantly, the Crown Prince and Lin Ruochu, the Grand Tutor's daughter, were in love with each other. They'd been childhood sweethearts, and the people of the capital considered them a perfect match.
The imperial decree arrived without warning. Sure enough, half a month later, Xie Chunchao reached the capital, and the people poured into the streets to catch a glimpse of her.
But was this bold, spirited woman with her long hair tied high and no makeup on the future Crown Princess?
Even more astonishing, Xie Chunchao moved straight into the Crown Prince's residence.
As everyone lamented that the Crown Prince's beautiful flower had been planted in a pile of cow dung, someone noticed that Xie Chunchao seemed to visit the frail Prince Jing's residence every few days.
