Betrayed overnight, the crown prince, once the darling of all, is left on the brink of death and reduced to a beggar.
When turmoil erupts in the palace, the prince rumored to have died young suddenly returns, slays the rebels with his own hands, and ascends the throne.
As the old order gives way to a new one, the emperor brings back a woman, breaks with convention, appoints her imperial tutor, makes her a court official, and names her prime minister.
Amid romance and intrigue, the female imperial tutor wins the heart of the great general who guards the realm, only to be framed for no reason and left with her fate unknown.
While she is there, she establishes private schools, reforms official conduct, raises funds through clever schemes, and serves as an envoy to four kingdoms.
After her death, the court officials mourn her, her rivals mourn her, the emperor mourns her, and her first love mourns her.
Little do they know that this switch of identities allowed her to cling to life in a forbidden palace in a neighboring kingdom, where her hands and feet were severed, her voice and speech taken, and she endured endless suffering.
When she returns, lanterns light the streets and wedding finery stretches for miles. Her first love is celebrating his wedding night with someone else.
When she returns, the emperor is the happiest of all among the court officials and palace beauties.
Prime Minister Xu has returned to reclaim everything that belongs to her.
Welcome back, Prime Minister Xu, reborn from the flames.
