Zhilin, the third prince of the Diji nation, was born to the Empress and Emperor. Despite his noble birth, he was despised by everyone in the palace due to his unique ability to bring new life into the world, a trait known as being a "ger." This ability brought shame to the royal family, causing the Emperor and Empress to harbor resentment towards him. His siblings treated him as an outcast, avoiding him entirely. Consequently, Zhilin was raised in the countryside, living as an unknown prince to the people. His family only acknowledged his existence after 17 years when the esteemed Qinghuan sent a proposal for marriage, requesting the third prince, Peng Cheng, as the legal spouse. Despite the fact that Peng Cheng could not inherit the throne due to issues of birthright and his notorious indulgence in women-having already acquired five concubines by the age of 22-the Emperor and Empress decided to send Zhilin in Yuxi's place.
