share time: 2025-12-27 00:36:28

Su Wan, the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Dingbei, is forced to marry Emperor Xiao Jingxing as Consort Shu due to the emperor's balance of power. Upon entering the palace, she faces neglect and schemes, desperate to escape. However, when she sneaks into the imperial garden one night, she stumbles upon Xiao Jingxing's hidden illness—the cold emperor is lying under the crabapple tree, clutching his chest. Moved, Su Wan heals him, only to be drawn into a deeper game: Xiao Jingxing, though seemingly ruthless, is secretly weakening powerful ministers; Su Wan also realizes she's not a caged bird—she uses the military strategy from her family to defuse a palace coup, saves the poisoned crown prince with her medical skills, and even dares to confront powerful officials in court. When she, who loathes the red walls, becomes the most powerful person inside them, Xiao Jingxing holds a crabapple flower and says softly: "I want this kingdom, but I want you more."
