✨ Story Summary

Lin Zhiwei, daughter of a renowned Celestial Master, seeks to avoid a fated, obsessive husband. Under her father’s plans, she becomes Crown Princess, only to be abducted on her wedding night by General Shen Ji, the Northern Commander, who assassinates the emperor and seizes the throne. Expecting a nightmare of captivity, Lin Zhiwei instead discovers that Shen Ji’s obsession hides a past connected to her, and that her forgotten memories, along with Shen Ji’s true motives, hold the key to unraveling this upheaval of imperial power.
✨ Character Introductions

Lin Zhiwei: Only daughter of the Celestial Master. Skilled in divination and astrology, she is introverted, home-loving, and seemingly indifferent to worldly affairs, but possesses deep insight. Forced to become Crown Princess to avoid her fated husband, she is abducted by Shen Ji. Through their interactions, she gradually uncovers past mysteries and moves from resignation to acceptance.

Shen Ji: Northern Commander turned emperor after usurping the throne. Born into hardship, ambitious and obsessive, he exhibits extreme possessiveness toward Lin Zhiwei. His rebellion appears aimed solely at imprisoning her, but it stems from a childhood encounter with her, making her his guiding light amid darkness.

Lin Tianshi: Lin Zhiwei’s father, a master diviner who deeply cherishes his daughter. To protect her from her fated husband, he deceives the emperor and binds her to the Crown Prince, unknowingly setting events in motion that defy destiny. He is a key driver of the story’s plot.

Shi Li: The former Crown Prince, son of Noble Consort Wan. Outwardly gentle and refined, he is actually cunning, self-serving, and manipulative. He exploits Lin Zhiwei to create a false childhood-friendship illusion and, when Shen Ji rebels, abandons her to save himself, ultimately becoming a casualty of the power struggle.

Kun Dao: Shen Ji’s loyal subordinate for many years. Handsome but harboring hostility toward Lin Zhiwei, he mistakenly believes she is a substitute for Shen Ji’s true love, Lin Chutang, and repeatedly schemes to drive them apart. In the end, he is thrown into confusion when confronted with the truth.
