She Never Chases Love, Only the Throne

share time: 2026-02-13 06:02:43

Shen Zhaoning, the most neglected princess of Great Yan, witnessed her mother's tragic death in the cold palace due to palace intrigue. She hid her sharpness and pretended to be a dandy, plotting for ten years to overthrow her usurpatory uncle and reclaim the legitimate throne. On her revenge path, she encounters Gu Huai, a hostage prince from an enemy state—this man, gentle on the surface but harboring a vengeful blade, becomes her sharpest "chess piece." They use each other and scheme step by step, yet shared unfulfilled dreams over late-night drinks and shielded each other from death. When her restoration plan is on the verge of success, Gu Huai appears with her mother's last letter: "Your throne is never more important than someone who truly loves you." Holding a blood-stained sword, she looks at Gu Huai waiting under the city gate, and for the first time hesitates: Is the throne she's plotted for ten years really more painful than losing him?
