Su Wanyi, a concubine's daughter of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, is tricked by her stepmother into marrying Prince Yan Xiao Jingheng, who is rumored to be “on his deathbed.” She expects a life of widowhood, only to discover her husband is not only healthy but also the “hidden chessmaster” plotting to seize the throne. Xiao Jingheng uses her family's military background to pave his way, yet he's touched by her tenacity and purity. Su Wanyi goes from wanting to escape to actively helping him defuse crises, supporting each other in the vortex of power. When Xiao Jingheng ascends the throne, everyone thinks she'll be a dispensable figure in the harem—until he publicly declares, “I offer the entire kingdom as a betrothal gift, and I will only marry one person.” It turns out that from the very first meeting, his plan always included “guarding the world with her.”
