Meeting the Cold Branch in Midsummer

share time: 2026-03-07 00:38:35

Xia Chu, an overlooked concubine's daughter in the prime minister's mansion, is abandoned in the snow for taking the blame for her legitimate sister—only to save Xiao Yuan, a "down-and-out scholar" with severe injuries. She uses her medical skills and wit to help him evade pursuers, unaware he is the Cold Prince, hiding his identity to investigate the prime minister's treason. As the truth unfolds, Xia Chu not only discovers she is the orphan of the former dynasty's princess but also transforms from a doormat into a "key" that can sway the situation. Yet Xiao Yuan's favor has long shattered his political calculations: he never wanted victory over the kingdom—he wanted the warmth of spending midsummer with her. When the "cold branch" leans toward the "midsummer" on its own, this fated reunion holds the sweetest reversal and redemption.
