Qingche, a female palace maid with a humble background, accidentally got the favor of Emperor Duanmu Lan and began her extraordinary journey in the palace. Under the attack of Zhu Cui and others, she relied on her tenacity and wisdom to save herself from danger time and time again. Under the harsh environment in the palace, Qingche and Duanmulan's affair was discovered, and the two faced the designs and attacks of Eunuch Zhou, Biluo and others. With Qingche's wit and Eunuch Zhou's secret care for her, they worked together to dismantle one frame after another planned by Zhu Cui. Finally, at a palace ceremony, Duanmu Lan decisively gave Ruolan to another loyal minister and declared Qingche as the queen, which gave her the highest recognition of her status. Qingche went from an insignificant palace maid to a queen respected by all people, not only due to her beauty, but also her wisdom and courage.
