In her previous life, Chu Li was an unpopular sixth princess. She had been living a low-key life in the palace and had no ambitions for the throne. Her sister Chu Yan was domineering because she was deeply favored by the emperor. In order to become the queen and further control the government, Chu Yan believed that although Chu Li was not a threat, there was a potential risk. As a result, Chu Yan orchestrated a conspiracy to frame Chu Li for cursing the emperor. The emperor was furious and threw Chu Li into prison. In prison, Chu Li was tortured and eventually died unjustly.
