share time: 2025-12-26 06:01:11

Rong Jing, the "short-lived prince" in the capital, was born weak and declared by imperial doctors to not live past twenty, yet he’s rebelliously defiant—when the emperor forces him to marry the prime minister’s daughter, he instead presents a betrothal letter to Shen Zhaozhao, the widow of the general who has led 100,000 soldiers for three years. Shen Zhaozhao, whose husband died in battle, had given up on marriage after shouldering the military power alone, but Rong Jing’s "recklessness" shakes her peace. She thinks he wants to use the general’s influence to survive, only to find his proposal hides clues about her late husband’s death; Rong Jing’s "short life" is actually a disguise to avoid suspicion, as he’s secretly protecting her from the emperor’s jealousy. As they move from mutual wariness to growing affection, the old battlefield conspiracy surfaces—can they hold onto each other amid the storm?
