share time: 2026-03-01 00:37:59

Lin Xiaoman, a commoner girl, enters the palace as a scribe for her good handwriting. One night, she accidentally breaks into the imperial study and overhears Emperor Xiao Jingheng, a young ruler, confessing to his late father: "I don't want to be alone, but this kingdom doesn't allow me to have weaknesses." She flees in panic, leaving her embroidered handkerchief behind. The next day, when summoned, she expects death, but Xiao Jingheng hands back the handkerchief and says, "Since you know my secret, you'll be my weakness." From a bullied nobody, she becomes the emperor's favorite. But just as she indulges in the sweetness, she discovers the "accident" was a plan—Xiao Jingheng had long noticed her from her calligraphy "May the king find his home" and the secret was his "invitation" for her to enter his world.
