share time: 2025-10-31 12:31:24

Shen Yan, the neglected illegitimate son of the Zhenguo Duke, was exiled to guard the imperial mausoleum for being labeled “cursed.” There, he rescues Jiang Ning, the newly ascended empress who’s been stripped of power by corrupt officials and hunted by rebels. Determined to live quietly, he’s moved by Jiang Ning’s words: “You’re the first to stand between me and danger.” He decides to join her game of power as an “abandoned son”: helping her defeat the tyrannical prime minister, suppress border rebellions, and stabilize the court. What starts as a transactional alliance grows into unwavering trust—by the time the empress secures her throne, the once-despised outcast has become her most indispensable “anchor” in the chaos. This game of power, begun with an “abandoned son,” ends up as their most intense bond of life and death.
