In the Daqi Dynasty, Princess Yongning lies about being pregnant with Prince Consort Gu Yanzhi’s child to avoid the Empress Dowager’s forced marriage. She expects to get away with it, but the usually cold Gu Yanzhi takes it “seriously”—twenty thousand taels for fetal care arrive on time every month, the bird’s nest congee he熬s himself is warmed three times before being served, and even the palace maids are bribed to help cover her lie. The princess panics: she’s not actually pregnant—Is this icy prince consort really stupid, or just playing along? Until one night, she overhears Gu Yanzhi whispering to the late emperor’s portrait: “The day she took an assassin’s knife for me in the imperial garden, I swore to spend my life protecting her, even if it means using this ‘fetal care’ lie.” It turns out he saw through her long ago, but hid all his tenderness under the pretense of “fetal care,” waiting to turn this act into a lifetime of sweetness.
