Chu Xian transmigrated to the Qing Dynasty, becoming Ula Nara, Empress Xiaojingxian, who had lost her son and imperial favor. The original owner mysteriously drowned on the night she was betrothed to the Fourth Prince Consort.
Upon learning her future husband was the harsh and ungrateful Emperor Yongzheng, she completely gave up on love. Until that day, while strolling in her dowry estate, she found an exceptionally handsome, poor scholar.
The scholar was educated, sensible, and meticulously considerate. She couldn't control her emotions and fell deeply for him, finding joy in his company. A few days before her wedding, Chu Xian interrupted the hesitant scholar, regretfully explaining that her family had already arranged her marriage.
She then forcefully gifted him a generous sum of money to sever their private affair. On her wedding night, the Fourth Prince lifted her veil but barely glanced at her. He even refused to drink the nuptial wine, leaving on an excuse.
Chu Xian lost favor immediately after her marriage, becoming the laughingstock of the capital, yet her mood improved greatly. She and the Fourth Prince exactly disliked each other, making them a seemingly harmonious but estranged couple.
Upon discovering the Fourth Prince's scandalous illicit affair with a minister's wife, Chu Xian made a deal with him: she would help him cover up the scandal, in return for his full support in her painstaking efforts to divorce him. They became an incompatible and estranged couple.
Every day, besides politely nodding, smiling, and faking affection, they also had to politely share a bed. Until that day, her dowry estate was engulfed in flames, and the cruel and sinister Fourth Prince actually broke their alliance, burning her lover alive...
