The heroine Nalan Yuexing, who represents the family of relatives, was sent to the new emperor's harem by her uncle for the sake of the family's interests because the family did not have a suitable marriageable woman. She was pushed to be the queen by threatening her parents, so as to maintain the glory of the Nalan family for three dynasties. Nalan Yuexing knew that she would not be favored by the new emperor, so she negotiated with the male protagonist and new emperor Xiao Mingchen on the night of their wedding: "I I know that you will not accept or even like a queen who has been promoted, let alone a relative who has served two dynasties..." "It just so happens that I don't want to stay in this dark harem. How about we make a deal. I will help you... For a period of five years... To strengthen the imperial power. After that, you will be free. How about it?"
