✨ Story Summary
Cui Yushu, a concubine-born daughter from a collateral branch of the Cui family, volunteers to marry the gravely injured heir of the Duke of Britain’s household, Pei Yichen, as a “fortune bride” in exchange for dowry and family resources. Everyone mocks her foolishness, unaware she has already calculated her gains — if he dies, she inherits; if he lives, she rises with him. Unexpectedly, Pei Yichen wakes and regains his power. When her cousin regrets giving up the match and demands him back, Cui Yushu stands firm. Yet as Pei Yichen becomes entangled in court struggles and prepares to go to the frontier, what began as a marriage of profit slowly turns into genuine love — one he’s long hidden behind his calm eyes.
