"Character Profiles
Song Zhao (The Protagonist)
A refined and intelligent daughter of the Grand Tutor's household, betrothed from childhood to the Second Prince but harboring secret feelings for his younger brother. Raised to become empress with years of palace training, she possesses the grace and political acumen expected of nobility, yet yearns for genuine affection over arranged duty. When fate intervenes through her fiancé's bride-switching scheme, she finds herself unexpectedly married to the very man she has silently adored for years.
Su Yu (The Sixth Prince)
A distinguished war hero bearing both physical scars and emotional wounds from his years as a hostage in enemy territory, returning with military glory that ultimately cost him his claim to the throne. Despite his reserved, scholarly demeanor and reputation for principled conduct, he harbors deep feelings for his brother's intended bride. His apparent aloofness masks a passionate nature and sharp political mind, making him both protector and pursuit in the dangerous game of imperial succession.
Su Ye (The Second Prince)
The pampered heir apparent born to the Empress, whose entitled upbringing has made him both calculating and impulsive when pursuing his desires. Initially content with his arranged marriage to Song Zhao, he becomes obsessed with the unconventional Zhu Qinqin and orchestrates an elaborate bride-switching plot to claim her. His actions reveal a man willing to sacrifice others' happiness and dignity for his own gratification while maintaining a facade of reluctant necessity."
