Shadows of Betrayal, Light of Love

Ning Ziyu and Shen Jingyi poisoned Shen Nanqiao. Ning Ziyu was her husband, Shen Jingyi her half-sister. While she was dying, Ning Su reached her with fresh wounds on him. He was the eunuch who held power over the court, he had gone out for medicine that would save her, and he had been ambushed on the way. She learned then how long he had been in love with her. She woke again on the day of her wedding to Ning Ziyu. In front of the guests she called off the match and said she would marry Ning Su instead. Ning Su agreed to it and took the scandal onto himself. After the wedding he kept her out of harm's way and she went after anyone who spoke against him. They were looking into a case at a brothel when they came across an arrangement between the Empress, the Ninth Prince and Ning Ziyu to fix a charge on Ning Su and the Crown Prince. In the middle of that, Shen Nanqiao found out that Ning Su had never been a eunuch. He was a prince who had been living among ordinary people.
