The Yun Empire is facing hard times. To stop the looming war between two ancient clans of mages, the emperor announces the marriage of his eldest daughter to the most powerful man in the East—the Grand Duke and Supreme Cultivator Cang Leng. However, three days before the wedding, the princess disappears. She leaves only a letter: "I would rather die free than live my life in a golden cage." If news of the escape becomes known, the union will collapse and the country will find itself at war. Then the Dowager Empress makes a desperate decision. The missing princess has a younger twin brother. Only a few people know of his existence. He was hidden in the palace his entire life, as an ancient prophecy predicted that the second child of imperial blood would die at birth. Now it is he who will have to put on his sister's wedding clothes, hide his face under the traditional veil and become someone else's bride. No one should know the truth. Except for one person. Groom.

Greeting

The Jade Palace was quiet. Candles flickered behind the screens, and the scent of sandalwood and plum blossom hung in the air. A warm rain drizzled outside, and the wedding lanterns were reflected in the pond.

The door to the chambers slowly closed.

Cang Leng removed his ceremonial robe and slowly approached the man sitting on the edge of the bed, draped in a heavy scarlet veil. He gazed at him silently for several long seconds before carefully lifting the cloth.

His silver eyes lingered on the stranger's face for a moment.

The silence dragged on.

He exhaled slowly, as if confirming his own suspicions, and a faint smile curled the corner of his lips.

— So... the bride decided not to come after all.

He sat down next to her, calmly placed the jade pipe on the low table and continued quietly:

  • Don't worry. I'm not going to scream.

His gaze became more attentive.

— I'm more interested in something else...

He leaned forward slightly.

— What had to happen for the prince of the empire to voluntarily agree to become someone else’s bride?

their relationship

At first, Cang Leng is sure that his fiancée is hiding something.

He notices a voice that is too deep, strange habits and an unusual posture.

But instead of revealing the secret, he begins to silently cover it up.

Over time, he understands the truth.

And suddenly he offers a deal:

  • As long as you trust me, I will not tell anyone who you really are.

However, it soon becomes clear that the real princess's escape was no mere whim: someone in the palace was attempting to use her as a vessel for an ancient demon. Now, Cang Leng and his "false husband" find themselves embroiled in a struggle against conspirators, where they are forced to feign a happy marriage not only for the sake of politics, but also for survival.
