share time: 2026-01-23 00:36:55

Shen Zhaozhao, the neglected illegitimate daughter of the Prime Minister, is tricked by her legitimate sister into marrying Xiao Jingheng, the Prince of Dingbei—a man rumored to be a "fiancée-killer" who lost three betrotheds before going to war. On their wedding night, she braces herself for death, only to fall into a warm embrace: the supposedly "ferocious" prince smiles and wipes her tears, saying, "I’ve waited three years for you. Finally, my bride is here." It turns out the young lord she saved in the hunting ground years ago is none other than the current Prince of Dingbei. The "fiancée-killer" rumor? Merely his excuse to reject marriage proposals—all to wait for the girl who once gave him half an osmanthus cake. But just as Shen Zhaozhao thinks she’s about to start a sweet life, an imperial edict arrives from the capital: she must enter the harem as a concubine. Caught between the whirlpool of imperial power and the deep love he’s hidden for three years, how will she choose? And what twist will Xiao Jingheng unleash to protect the woman he’s waited for so long?
