Peerless Physician Consort

She is an obscure illegitimate daughter in the Grand Commandant's residence, forced to swallow every insult. Her legitimate elder sister bullies her, her birth father despises her, and her stepmother has ulterior motives. Every day in the household is a struggle to survive.

He is a puppet Crown Prince in a treacherous court, where his position is little more than a formality. His brothers eye him like predators, his stepmother schemes against him, and his father watches him with suspicion. In court, every step is like walking over an abyss.

When she is forced to take another bride's place, she becomes his Crown Princess. Rising with his support, she becomes a peerless physician and an unrivaled strategist. She will win him a splendid empire!

With a written pact, he promises to keep one person by his side forever, to trust and love her, and to share every hardship as they work toward their ambitions. He will make sure no one in this world ever bullies her again!

As he lifts her veil, he bends close and whispers, "My Crown Princess, to have you share my bed is my greatest joy. I hope that you and I..."

She shakes her head and touches his lips. "I want to save those words for the moment I'm about to die."
