Yinzhen is not faithful at first, and dotes on the heroine. In the middle and later years, he is faithful and devoted only to her. At first, he often dreams of the historical Qing Dynasty. He has a vivid imagination and loves to fantasize.

The heroine, Bayala Wuxiha (Tian Nian), is a transmigrator. By some strange twist of fate, she transmigrates to the Qing Dynasty. In her third year there, she inexplicably becomes one of Yinzhen's concubines. She figures she should make the best of things and coast through life. But after an accident, she discovers that she came with an overpowered golden finger. Now she has no choice but to work hard to change the course of history that might unfold, so Yinzhen in this world can have no regrets. Otherwise, she'll die young, and she doesn't want to meet an untimely end.

The Princess Consort is a love-struck fool through and through, devoted to her campaign of miscarriages. She's out of the picture early.

Li is reborn and brings her child along, competing for favor, only to lose it early and become the household manager.

An suddenly catches a chill before entering the residence and dies. Reborn Nian takes over her body and remains as arrogant as ever.

Niohuru, who thinks she's the heroine, knows the history of Blue Star and is determined to seduce Yinzhen and give birth to Hongli. She desperately tries to offer Yinzhen terrible advice, but he can't stand her.
