share time: 2026-02-18 12:37:58

Jianghu healer Shen Qing hides in the Eastern Palace as a handyman to escape enemies, determined to stay invisible—until Crown Princess Su Wanwan disrupts his peace by visiting every night. She claims to want '100 ways to make the prince bored' or begs for burn medicine, but secretly fell for Shen Qing when he saved her from a hunting accident. Shen Qing finds her bothersome at first, but softens when he sees her sadness over being forced by her family to 'compete for the prince’s favor'. He shields her from the prince’s coldness and covers for her 'clumsiness'. Just as their feelings grow, the prince exposes Shen Qing as a 'wanted criminal', and Su Wanwan’s family threatens her with 'disobeying the emperor’s order'—can their hidden love survive the power struggle?
