share time: 2025-12-09 12:33:58

Gu Zhao, the famous sickly General of the Northern Town, often coughs up blood and needs a guard's help to mount a horse. To check his military power, the emperor forces him to marry Shen Mingtang, who has just been ransomed from the enemy—she is the daughter of the enemy's prime minister captured by him three years ago, now a hostage returning with secrets. Gu Zhao marries her to consolidate power with the Shen family's old troops; Shen Mingtang marries him to investigate her family's massacre. On their wedding night, they draw a line: "No interference, each takes what they need." But as they live together, Gu Zhao finds Shen Mingtang secretly leaves honeyed pear paste on his desk and uses her medical skills to help him escape the emperor's schemes. Shen Mingtang also sees him risk his life to block an assassin's knife for her, the wound right next to his heart. When Gu Zhao's old illness strikes and he falls comatose for three days, Shen Mingtang cries, "I don't hate you anymore." When Shen Mingtang discovers the crown prince is the culprit behind her family's massacre, Gu Zhao hands her the military talisman: "I'll go with you to take revenge." It turns out that under the guise of "utilization," there has long been unspoken true love.
