Raising the Secret Prince in the Palace

share time: 2025-12-15 00:35:53

Palace maid Ah Zhu saves Seventh Prince Zhaoning—who’s hunted by the Queen—out of kindness. Since then, she hides in the deepest part of the cold palace to "secretly raise" him: trading stale rice for life-saving medicine, covering his cries with rags, even feigning madness to escape searches. But this hidden guardianship is uncovered by Shen Yan, a general investigating the palace coup. At first, he thinks she’s a rebel spy, but when he follows her, he sees her splitting the only steamed bun with the prince, sees her biting her lip silently as she’s whipped to protect Zhaoning. When the Queen’s men track them to the cold palace and Zhaoning’s identity is about to be exposed, Ah Zhu realizes she’s not just guarding a child—she’s guarding the hand warmer Shen Yan secretly gives her, and the unspoken feelings between them. The wind in the palace walls grows colder, but can this secretly burning fire pierce the darkness?
