share time: 2026-01-16 12:35:03

Lin Wan, an unfavored concubine's daughter of the Minister's Mansion, is forced to marry the "crippled and tyrannical" Prince Jing Xiao Zhan instead of her eldest sister to protect her young brother, thinking she's "climbing a high branch" for survival. However, she discovers Xiao Zhan is faking his disability—he's actually investigating the truth behind his family's massacre years ago. Lin Wan intends to play along, but is moved by Xiao Zhan's tenderness and responsibility; meanwhile, Xiao Zhan has long known that this intelligent and resilient woman is the little girl who saved his life back then. When the eldest sister, consumed by jealousy, seeks revenge and court villains close in, the two go from "using each other" to "loving each other deeply," weaving a sweet love story of "fake social climbing, real mutual redemption" in the whirlpool of power.
