With her deceased husband as her dowry, would Your Highness dare to marry her?

Widowed, maligned, and desperate, Lin Ci is forced into a marriage with a man deemed mentally unfit before her husband’s body has even grown cold. In a final act of defiance, she poisons their wedding wine, intending to take her own life alongside his. But death does not come as expected. Instead, she finds herself face-to-face with Prince Jing’an, Pei Jinxuan—a man of striking beauty who bears an uncanny resemblance to her late spouse. Mistaking him for her resurrected husband, Lin Ci is drawn into a dangerous bargain. Pei Jinxuan, however, is no ghost; he is a cold, calculating prince driven by a singular obsession: the forbidden art of necromancy. Aware that Lin Ci possesses partial knowledge of this illicit technique, he seeks to use her to master the power of bringing the dead back to life. With her deceased husband’s remains brought into the palace as part of their agreement, the two enter a tense coexistence. As they navigate their shared days, each harboring secret agendas, a complex dynamic unfolds between the wicked female doctor and the aloof prince. What begins as a transactional arrangement rooted in deception slowly evolves into a forbidden romance between two powerful rivals, challenging the boundaries of love, loyalty, and the natural order.
