share time: 2026-02-03 06:01:00

Lin Zhaozhao and Shen Yan were childhood sweethearts. To climb the social ladder by marrying the prime minister's daughter for fame and fortune, Shen Yan publicly broke off their engagement on the day he became the top scholar, humiliating Zhaozhao. Heartbroken, Zhaozhao accidentally saved the emperor who was traveling incognito and was made queen. When Shen Yan, backed by the prime minister's power, came to pressure her into submission, he realized that the "poor girl" he once looked down on had already stood at the peak of power—his calculating path to becoming the top scholar was merely a backdrop to her ability to turn the tables. And in this counterattack, there lay Zhaozhao's cruelest "revenge" on him: letting him witness firsthand just how dazzling the person he once abandoned could be.
