[Faked death + a long road to winning her back, brooding and stubborn male lead who hides his feelings versus a strong-willed, clear-eyed female lead] After faking her death for three years, the once-famous Princess Consort of the Prince of Jingbei, now going by the name Cui Yao, gave birth to a daughter and became a beautiful cook at an inn.
