share time: 2026-02-08 00:36:59

Shen Zhaozhao, the neglected illegitimate daughter of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, was treated as an outcast since childhood. On her coming-of-age day, her father tricked her into marrying Xiao Jingheng, the "crippled and insane" Northern King, to ward off bad luck through marriage. Believing she was doomed, she stumbled upon Xiao Jingheng's secret—he had been pretending to be disabled to hide his strength, and was actually a ruthless man plotting to seize the throne. To get back at her scum father, Shen Zhaozhao offered a deal: she would use her modern business acumen to help him amass wealth, in exchange for his help to humiliate her family. But as she used modern marketing strategies to win over the Jiangnan salt merchants, as he shielded her from assassins, made her ginger tea late at night, and even defied the emperor in court to protect her, their "utilitarian" relationship slowly shifted. Until Xiao Jingheng placed the imperial seal in her hand: "I want this kingdom, but I want you more." At the same time, Shen Zhaozhao's true identity was revealed—she was the late emperor's missing princess, and her "outcast" status was just a protection scheme by the General's Mansion. When her scum father came begging for forgiveness and enemy armies approached the border, she stood side by side with Xiao Jingheng on the city wall, smiling: "Now, it's our turn to call the shots."
