share time: 2026-02-11 00:44:29

In her past life, Shen Zhaoning, the legitimate daughter of the prime minister's mansion, took the blame and was executed to save her beloved, General Xiao Yan. But on her deathbed, she witnessed Xiao Yan's wedding with her illegitimate sister—she was just a pawn in their power struggle. Reborn on her coming-of-age day, she tears up the engagement letter, refuses to marry Xiao Yan, and turns to the cold, suspicious Emperor Lu Shiyan: helping him purge外戚, suppress rebellions, and gradually becoming the most powerful female official in the court. What she doesn't know is that Lu Shiyan has long hidden a true heart behind the dragon throne—since she died for Xiao Yan in her past life, he has wanted to protect her within the kingdom. When Xiao Yan repents and begs for a second chance, when imperial power clashes with true love, she swears to guard the throne, and also the deep affection hidden in the dragon patterns.
