share time: 2026-01-27 12:35:16

Su Wan, an unfavored illegitimate daughter of the prime minister's family, is forced to replace her sister and marry the seventh prince Gu Zhao, who is rumored to be crippled and on his deathbed. But on their wedding night, the “crippled prince” stands up and lifts her veil—turns out both are “abandoned children” cast aside by their families. To retaliate against their cold relatives and reclaim what’s theirs, they make a deal: she helps him scheme for the throne, he promises her the position of empress. However, when scheming hides concern and tests carry care, the clear-cut alliance of interests gradually breaks down under the weight of true feelings. When he sits on the dragon throne and she wears the phoenix crown, is this “mutually beneficial” marriage the end of a transaction, or the beginning of love?
