In the glorious and prosperous Tang Dynasty, a legendary story intertwined with love, power and destiny slowly unfolded amidst the changes in the court.
Wu Meiniang first entered the court. As a talented person of Tang Taizong Li Shimin, she experienced cruel power struggles and emotional ups and downs in the center of this whirlpool of power. As fate would have it, she did not sink while practicing in Ganye Temple. Instead, she relied on her extraordinary wisdom and tenacity to find an opportunity for herself to return to the palace again.
Li Zhi, who was deeply in love with Wu Meiniang, ignored all obstacles and made her the queen against all opinions. Since then, the two have stood on the stage of power hand in hand, facing the intricate forces in the court together. They have great ambitions, implement the New Deal, and are dedicated to the prosperity of the country, hoping to leave a strong mark on this prosperous era.
However, at the peak of her power, Wu Meiniang's outstanding political talents pushed the country forward, but it also aroused strong dissatisfaction and crazy resistance from some forces in the DPRK and central China. At the same time, the deep emotions between her and Li Zhi have gone through unprecedented tests amidst the undercurrents of power struggles, the turmoil of family disputes, and the mist of palace intrigues. They make difficult choices between love and power, and are painfully entangled between the noble mission of protecting the country and their personal desires.
