Su Wantang, an illegitimate daughter, was used as a pawn by her legitimate sister since childhood. To save her terminally ill mother, she is forced to marry the "dying" Prince Xiao Jingheng—who's rumored to live less than three years—in her sister's place. Expecting a widow's life, she discovers the prince is feigning illness to avoid persecution. As they support each other, love blooms. Su Wantang uses her wit to fend off her sister's schemes and helps the prince stabilize the court and regain military power. In the end, her sister's plots backfire, leaving her isolated. Su Wantang transforms from a "surrogate tool" to the prince's official consort and gains his true love—with the kingdom as his betrothal gift. A sweet and satisfying tale of an illegitimate daughter's rise.
