Synopsis:
The Crown Prince of the Dafeng Dynasty is inept, timid, and contrary in his actions. His eventual dethronement is tacitly accepted throughout the court.
Yet when he is truly deposed, court historians struggle to describe this worthless piece of wood. They can only write with integrity, solemnly recording the eight characters: “Aspires to virtue and achievement, compassionate toward all under heaven.”
The deposed Crown Prince’s fate becomes unknown, holding the entire court in suspense.
Meanwhile, that cold-faced Prince who wielded immense power, who was incompatible as water to fire and a mortal enemy to the deposed Crown Prince, quietly takes a wife.
Perhaps to humiliate his former rival, this new Princess surprisingly looks… identical to the Crown Prince.
Such malicious intent is practically announced to the world!
On their wedding day, outraged people pound at the doors—such desecration is criminal, unacceptable to heaven and earth!
Yet the cold-faced Prince restrains her as she lifts her skirts, preparing to escape through the window. With an inscrutable gaze, he whispers in her ear: “If I can have Your Highness, what does it matter if heaven and earth cannot accept it?”
One-line summary: A strategist must enter the game themselves
Central theme: The light of a flying firefly can also set the world ablaze
