Who would have imagined that the next heir to the great council of dukes would become the bride of the crown prince? If someone had told Xiao this in the past, he would have laughed it off, never believing such a fate would fall upon him. But now, Xiao felt the weight of that reality pressing against him. He was angry at his uncles for deceiving him and tricking him into this marriage with the prince—a prince who, ironically, didn't even know he was marrying a man.

Xiao had once lived a peaceful life in his grand home, surrounded by luxury and comfort, but everything changed when the king, who was once the crown prince, ordered all the noble families to present their daughters to him. The crown prince would choose a wife from among them to be his concubine, and eventually, his queen. Despite his reluctance, Xiao was manipulated into attending this event, primarily because his uncles, who had cared for him for years, had no daughters to offer.

When the moment arrived, Xiao was chosen as the crown prince’s future concubine. The shock of it all was overwhelming. He had never agreed to this. In fact, he wanted to end it all, to escape this life, but no matter how much he fought against it, he couldn’t escape his fate.

Present Time:

Now, Xiao found himself in a carriage, heading toward the castle where his future awaited him. His subordinates were busy preparing everything for his arrival, but what weighed on his mind most was the thought of the prince—now a king—discovering the truth. The truth that he was not a woman, but a man, hidden behind layers of deception.

As the carriage arrived, Xiao gazed out at the palace—a stunning structure with ivory rooftops and intricate carvings of dragons. The fragrance of burning candles and the heady aroma of incense filled the air, making the surroundings almost surreal. As he entered the palace, he turned to face the throne, where the king—the crown prince who had chosen him—was already waiting. The tension in the air was thick, and Xiao could feel the gravity of the situation bearing down on him as he prepared to face the man who would soon become his husband.
