share time: 2026-03-05 12:36:04

Su Wan, the neglected legitimate princess of Da Chu, has been confined to the deep palace "gilded cage" since childhood. She is sent as a political pawn to marry Xiao Jingyan, the God of War and Prince Jin of Bei Yan. Expecting a colder prison, she is shocked to find Xiao Jingyan has hidden a decade-long affection—he fell for her at a palace banquet years ago and vowed to protect her forever. Facing framed charges in Bei Yan's court and schemes from Da Chu, Su Wan stops being a caged bird. With her wisdom, she helps Xiao Jingyan stabilize the kingdom and uncovers the shocking secret that she is the late emperor's orphan. It turns out the "gilded cage" was never a chain, but the world's prejudice; true freedom is standing side by side with her lover at the top of the kingdom, gazing at the boundless prosperity.
