Burning Lamp Wick: Unbroken Warmth

share time: 2026-02-03 00:37:51

Shen Wandeng, the legitimate daughter of a military commander, is framed and forced to marry the "sickly" Seventh Prince Xiao Jin—rumored to die within three years—to save her family. Everyone mocks her for walking into a trap, but Xiao Jin is actually a "hidden dragon" pretending to be weak, secretly plotting to seize the throne. Shen Wandeng is no pushover either—she uses her strategy to defuse the empress's poisoning scheme and military tactics to win over border generals. They go from mutual exploitation to deep affection: Xiao Jin leaves a warm stove for her late-night work, and she shields him during an assassination. When the power struggle intensifies and enemies unite to frame them, they turn the tide together—exposing the mastermind and helping Xiao Jin ascend the throne. In the end, as the lamp wick burns out, Xiao Jin holds her hand and says: "I want this kingdom—but I want you more."
