The working title for this series was His Highness the Fifth Prince Is Still Being Deceived, and the finalized title His Fifth Highness Still Doesn’t Know was revealed by Hai Tang in November 2025.
The publisher provides the following series synopsis:
Crybaby Jing Feirong was born to inherit the throne. As the youngest son of the Heavenly Emperor, his cultivation path has left him tormented by the heavy burden of expectation. And when he’s forced to marry the aloof god Chu Yanchuan, Jing Feirong throws the entire heavens into chaos, trying to fight his destiny…until he sees his fiancé’s face.
Chu Yanchuan’s beauty is unmatched across the six realms. On their wedding night, the normally distant god shows a hidden side of himself—turning Jing Feirong into a clingy, lovestruck dragon.
Jing Feirong thought he was going to enjoy a happy domestic life with his husband, but fate has something else in store for him…
