Reluctant Heart in the Royal Turmoil

share time: 2026-02-15 00:38:56

Shen Zhixia, an unfavored illegitimate daughter of the Prime Minister’s family, is forced to become a "political pawn" for the new Emperor Gu Heng due to family interests. She hates being manipulated and repeatedly pushes Gu Heng away—until she stumbles upon his secret: the iron-fisted emperor has long been poisoned, coughing blood at night, and all his coldness and schemes are to protect the Shen family, which is on the verge of collapse, for her. When the defense of "reluctance to accept" is shattered by the truth, Shen Zhixia decides to fight back: she learns political intrigue, battles villains, and vows to stand by Gu Heng through this "royal turmoil" in her own way. And Gu Heng’s deep love, hidden beneath his icy exterior, slowly emerges—turns out, he has remembered the little girl who dared to give him osmanthus cake at a palace banquet when he was seven. When power and true love collide, this "reluctant yet eager" romance finally becomes their armor against fate.
