Smuggling the Prince: Raising Him in Hiding

share time: 2025-12-15 06:12:54

Su Wan, an unfavored imperial talent, stumbles upon a shocking secret: the fourth prince, supposedly murdered by the empress, is still alive—whimpering weakly in his coffin. Risking her life, she smuggles the dying infant out of the palace, names him A Zhu, and hides in a small town. For five years, she works as a seamstress and street vendor, scraping together money for A Zhu’s medicine and books. But when the palace reopens the old case of the “dead prince” and sends assassins to the town, her peaceful life shatters. When A Zhu holds up a candy and asks, “Mother, why are people trying to catch us?”, Su Wan clutches the half-piece of jade under her pillow—the prince’s identity token, and the “loot” she risked everything for. She wanted to give him a normal life, but the palace’s shadow is closing in. As A Zhu’s intelligence grows, Su Wan struggles: should she keep hiding the truth, or let him return to his rightful place?
