share time: 2026-02-28 00:38:24

Shen Zhaoning, an unloved illegitimate daughter of the护国 general's mansion, is sent to the palace as a substitute bride for Lu Chengyu, the rumored "dying puppet emperor". She expects to waste away in the cold palace, only to discover her husband is not only healthy but secretly plotting to reclaim his power—and the reason he chose her as an ally? She saved him as a beggar ten years ago! While helping him fight corrupt officials and defend the border, she's secretly given osmanthus candies and shielded from assassins. Gradually, Shen Zhaoning realizes: she must guard the realm, but more importantly, the man in front of her. When the puppet emperor reveals his true strength and the illegitimate daughter becomes a court legend, their relationship shifts from "mutual use" to "mutual devotion". Turns out, the sweetest counterattack is standing with you—holding both the kingdom and true love.
