In the Dayu Dynasty, the palace was in turmoil, and the forces of the previous dynasty and the harem were fighting like vines.
Su Ruoli, the daughter of the censor, is as beautiful as a fairy and has outstanding talents. The family was wronged after being framed by a traitor, and her father was imprisoned. In order to find out the truth and clear her grievances, she entered the palace to participate in the draft.
When she first entered the palace, Su Ruoli was just a young nobleman, but was made trouble by the concubines headed by Concubine Shen Yunshang. Shen Yunshang is the daughter of the prime minister, coveting the throne, and sees Su Ruoli as a thorn in his side. Su Ruoli responded skillfully with intelligence and caution, and also met Lin Wanxi, and the two supported each other.
At the flower appreciation banquet, Su Ruoli was praised by the emperor for her piano skills and talents and was promoted to a concubine, but Shen Yunshang was jealous. Shen Yunshang designed her to make a fool of herself at the Queen's birthday party, but Su Ruoli exposed her evil deeds and was punished. Su Ruoli accidentally discovered clues to a family injustice case, but was obstructed by Shen Yunshang and traitorous officials during the investigation. She cleverly used all the contradictions to get closer to the truth, and won the emperor's trust and was promoted to the concubine.
The struggle in the harem of the previous dynasty intensified, and Su Ruoli was favored and promoted to a noble concubine, which attracted more conspiracies. At a critical moment, she discovered evidence that Shen Yunshang had colluded with foreign enemies and killed all his accomplices.
After the death of the queen, the throne became vacant, and the forces of the previous dynasty intervened to establish the queen. Su Ruoli relied on her wisdom, connections and the emperor's trust to defeat her opponents and ascend to the throne. She successfully brought justice to the family, reorganized the palace, and became a legend in Dayu's harem.
