share time: 2026-01-19 00:35:13

Liu Yaqian, a concubine’s daughter of the Prime Minister’s mansion, was bullied by her stepmother and half-sisters since childhood. An imperial edict forced her to marry Prince Rui Xiao Jingheng, who was rumored to “die within half a year.” Thinking she was stepping into a pit of fire, she stumbled upon the prince’s secret—his frailty was a lie; he was actually the “Lord of the Dark Pavilion,” secretly controlling the court. From mutual suspicion to fighting side by side, they exposed the Prime Minister’s “substitute marriage to silence” plot and uncovered the Empress’s clan’s conspiracy to usurp the throne. When the palace lantern illuminated the dark corners of power, the little concubine daughter who only wanted to reverse her fate ended up holding the reins of the kingdom with the prince—and the sweetest twist? His hidden sharpness and feigned illness were all to protect her from the moment he first saw her.
