The film queen Zhao Jingyi transmigrates into a book, landing in a story centered on a heroine whom everyone loves. She is the ill-fated villainess destined for a gruesome end...
The villainess, a princess with a fief, is consumed with jealousy because her beloved husband loves the heroine, his white moonlight. She uses every clumsy trick in the book to go after her, only to end up disgraced and dying alone.
Film queen Zhao Jingyi: Madly in love with my husband? Jealous of the heroine?
Not a chance. Keeping a few handsome lovers and getting involved in court power struggles are the way to go. Her life goal is to become a princess regent.
And there are plenty of handsome lovers to choose from. The heroine's men are all excellent candidates: the dashing young general, the aloof noble heir, the arrogant young marquis... She'll win them over one by one!
Everything seems to be going her way, except that one man keeps thwarting her: Xiao Jin, the current Grand Marshal and Great General, and the original heroine's father. No matter how sweetly Zhao Jingyi curries favor or how often she tries to win him over, Xiao Jin, who holds enormous power, refuses to budge or show her special treatment.
So she decides to take a step back and graciously ask Lord Xiao to teach her statecraft and governance, then win him over gradually. What she never expects is that while she is treating Lord Xiao like prey, she has already fallen unknowingly into the trap he laid for her long ago.
