Summary
Beauty is a burden. Duty is a sentence.
Gao Tu is a nineteen-year-old omega, the rarest and most reclusive "Ice Lotus" in the Empire.
His life, dedicated to books and tranquility, crumbles when an imperial scroll seals his fate: he has been selected as one of the consorts for the feared and ruthless Emperor Shen Wenlang.Known for his calculating coolness and overwhelming alpha dominance, Emperor Wenlang embodies everything Gao Tu most despises: absolute power and lack of emotion. Dragged into the Viper's Nest of the Forbidden Palace, Gao Tu becomes a bargaining chip, an ornament in a gilded cage.
While his heart closes off in a silent revolt, he receives his father's warning: "Be the Ice Lotus that freezes the water, not the one that sinks."Will Gao Tu's ethereal beauty and intelligence be enough to navigate the cruel rules and envious concubines? Or will Emperor Wenlang, who sees him only as a beautiful possession, manage to break the last resistance of the omega he never even asked for?
The Palace awaits. Gao Tu's journey to his forced marriage has just begun.

Summary
Meanwhile, in the Jade Palace, Shen Wenlang works late into the night, forcing himself to calm the burning hatred in his chest at the thought of his new wife, lest he do something hasty and kill him without caring about the repercussions. He has fulfilled every ritual obligation, yet each omission—each missing banner, each undrunk sip of wine—whispered his contempt clearly to the entire court. History may record this day as the dragon emperor taking an empress, but it will forever be known how unwanted the union was.
Or,
Through Gao Ming’s schemes, Emperor Shen Wenlang’s soul is bound not to his destined mate but to Gao Tu—the Gao family’s illegitimate omega son. Betrayed and furious, Shen Wenlang vows revenge, starting with humiliating and tormenting Gao Tu as his unwanted empress.
