share time: 2026-02-06 12:36:47

Xia Wanyue, a concubine's daughter of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, is framed as a "husband-killing disaster" by her step-sister and forced to marry Xiao Lin, the Cold King who is rumored to "not survive the year". Everyone waits to mock her as a widow, but little do they know Xiao Lin is a "hidden dragon" feigning illness—he appears frail, but secretly gathers evidence of the fake emperor's murder of his mother, vowing to seize the throne and avenge. Xia Wanyue intends to lie low but accidentally uncovers Xiao Lin's secret. They go from mutual suspicion to fighting side by side: she uses her medical skills to hide his true self, he uses his power to avenge her. The step-sister's schemes and the fake emperor's assassinations become the touchstone of their love. When the "sick king" sheds his disguise and the concubine's daughter rises to empress, they realize—the summer moon that shone on the cold branches the night she shielded him from an assassin had long etched itself into their hearts.
