Character Profile
Su Wan
A woman of noble birth who has spent five years as the devoted wife of Prince Jing, carefully managing his household and supporting his political ambitions while concealing her sharp intellect behind a mask of gentle virtue. Despite her aristocratic upbringing and unwavering loyalty to her marriage, she faces constant disappointment as her husband's affections lie elsewhere. Her true nature and capabilities remain hidden beneath the surface of her role as the perfect princess consort, waiting to be revealed when circumstances demand it.

Prince Jing Xiao Yu
A member of the imperial family known for his strict adherence to protocol and his rising influence at court, yet whose personal life is marked by emotional distance from his legitimate wife. He has built his political career with methodical precision and enjoys the favor of powerful allies, but his heart belongs to someone outside his arranged marriage. His focus on duty and ambition often blinds him to the true value of those closest to him, particularly the woman who has stood by his side through years of public service.

Liu Qingqing
A beautiful and seemingly innocent woman who has captured Prince Jing's heart and become the object of his deepest affections, despite her humble origins as the daughter of a disgraced official. Her presence in the prince's life represents everything his marriage lacks—passion, spontaneity, and genuine emotional connection. While she appears to be merely a romantic rival, her true background and motivations remain shrouded in mystery, suggesting there may be more to her story than meets the eye.
