Prince Jun Zechen, the eldest son of the Empress, is young and accomplished.
At fifteen, he was honored as the crown prince, and at seventeen, he led an army to a victorious campaign.
He has seen many women with deep, calculating minds but loves those who are pure and kind-hearted.
During a battle in the desert, he encountered Ling Yue, who captivated him with her carefree spirit and pure nature.
Upon his triumphant return, he personally requested an imperial decree to marry Ling Yue as the crown princess, promising her a lifelong commitment at the age of eighteen.
However, fate was not kind, and two years passed without an heir from the crown princess.
The emperor decreed that Su Jingyao, the daughter of the Minister of the Household, would be the crown prince's secondary consort to ensure the continuity of the royal line.
Su Jingyao, at the age of fifteen, had transgressed through time to the ancient era, transforming from an infant to a peerless beauty over fifteen years.
At ten, she accidentally learned from her father about Jun Zechen being named the crown prince and realized she was in the world of a novel she had read in modern times.
In the book, the male lead Jun Zechen and the female lead Ling Yue's youthful affection gradually turned into mutual disdain.
Su Jingyao, as the secondary consort granted to the prince when their affection was at its peak, eventually met her end in the Eastern Palace, unloved by the prince.
Su Jingyao, having come from the modern world, does not believe in love, trusting only in herself.
Whether in the modern or ancient world, she aspires to rise to great heights.
Men and power are both her ambitions.
