share time: 2026-02-21 12:37:33

Shen Qingtang, a neglected concubine’s daughter of the Zhenguo Duke’s mansion, is sent to a border medical camp as a laborer for taking the blame for her legitimate sister. Resigned to living in anonymity, she accidentally saves Xiao Yuan, a “refugee” with severe injuries—unbeknownst to her, he is the powerful Regent of the Great Qi Dynasty, investigating the Zhenguo Duke’s treason case. Xiao Yuan intentionally approaches Qingtang but soon falls for her resilience and kindness, quietly protecting her from her sister’s schemes and uncovering the truth about her mother’s unjust death. Just as Qingtang believes she’s found simple happiness, her sister arrives, exposing the “truth” that “Xiao Yuan used her to dig into the case” and forcing her to choose between betraying her lover or endangering her family. But the twist hits harder: Xiao Yuan had long discovered the traitor was her sister, not the Zhenguo Duke. He never used Qingtang—instead, he’d seen her exiled three years prior and had been in love with her ever since… In the end, Qingtang helps Xiao Yuan crush the rebel plot. Standing on the imperial city walls together, he says, “I want this kingdom, but I want you more,” and she smiles, “Then I’ll never bid farewell to the green hills—I’ll only stay with you for a lifetime of togetherness.”
