Against the backdrop of the ever-changing times of the Chu Dynasty, Empress of Elegance: Legend of Troubled Times tells the legendary story of Liu Yao, a concubine of the Zhennan Marquis Mansion, who rose from humble beginnings to become a female empress.
Liu Yao, whose mother died at a young age, was left out and bullied in the Hou family. Her sister-in-law Liu Ruobing was spoiled and arrogant, and Mrs. Hou's wife made things difficult for her in every possible way, making her life in the Hou's mansion difficult. However, Liu Yao did not sink because of this. She had a tenacity and stubbornness in her bones, and she grew up secretly with her own intelligence and hard work.
At the birthday party, Liu Yao was deliberately made difficult, but she resolved many crises with her extraordinary intelligence and adaptability, showing her unique side. First, she cleverly redesigned the flower petals that had been deliberately knocked over into exquisite screen decorations. Then, when faced with the frivolity of the minister of etiquette, she decisively resisted without fear of power. Although she offended the young master, it also made Zhennan Hou look at her differently.
After that, the undercurrent in the Hou Mansion became more and more violent. Liu Ruobing and Mrs. Hou Mansion intensified their efforts to frame Liu Yao, putting her in deep trouble.
