share time: 2026-02-25 06:00:48

Gu Zhaoyun, heir to the Zhenguo General's Mansion, had a childhood engagement with Lin Wan. Climbing trees for bird eggs and stealing osmanthus wine together, Lin always thought marrying him was her safest fate—until the emperor issued an edict: Gu must marry the princess, or his family would be executed for the emperor's suspicion of their excessive military achievements. Gu trembled as he held the edict and agreed. When Lin heard the news, she was squatting in her room embroidering twin lotuses on her wedding dress. A silver needle pricked her fingertip, staining the silk with blood, but she didn't notice. She never thought the boy who shielded her from dogs and took punishment for her would suddenly become someone else's groom. What made her panic enough to lose sleep? She'd hidden her love under the guise of "childhood friend"—now she realized she'd long been in love with him. With imperial power pressing down and worldly judgment like knives, how can she get back her Gu Zhaoyun?
