On the brink of death, Prince Cheng is stunned to find the one person still by his side: his long-neglected prince-consort, Mu Hanzhang. While Cheng pursued power and countless lovers, Mu Hanzhang gave up his future as a respected minister to become the dutiful "wife" of a heartless man. Cheng knows he never deserved such loyalty.
But fate isn't finished with him yet. When he awakens in the past--on the morning after their disastrous wedding night, with all his memories intact--Prince Cheng seizes the chance to set things right. This time, he'll treasure Mu Hanzhang. This time, the wife will come first, the state second, and the husband last.
