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

The young crown prince of the Great Feng Dynasty was quite mediocre, cowardly, rebellious and would be deposed sooner or later. This was a fact tacitly acknowledged by the court.
But until he was deposed for, the historians did not know how to describe this good for nothing. They could only write honestly and solemnly, “Aspiring to be both virtuous and accomplished, compassionate to the world”.
Not knowing whether the deposed crown prince was alive or dead, this deeply impacted the hearts of everyone at court.
But the cold-faced prince who hold all the power at court, who was like fire and water with the deposed crown prince and was his mortal enemy quietly married.
Perhaps to humiliate his former rival, but his new princess consort and the deposed crown prince… unexpectedly looked exactly like each other.
That’s basically declaring his evilness to the world!
On the day of the wedding, people turned angry and pounded on the door – such blasphemy, how malicious, and heaven and earth would not tolerate it!
But the cold-faced prince held her down as she was about to jump out of the window and escape, his eyes dark, whispering in her ear: “If I can get your Highness, what does it matter if the heaven and earth won’t tolerate me?”

A thousand stars. One of the best and most beautifully written novels I’ve come across. The court shenanigans were a lil convoluted by the end, but that’s a small blip in an otherwise excellent story.
