Wait Until I Return, Then We Can Fight for You

On a pitch-black night, Yun Mu fell into the water. Just as he was ready to give up on life, Wanru rescued him. They fell in love and planned to marry, but at a temple fair, she was seized and taken to the palace to become the emperor’s concubine. From then on, Empress Liu Ying repeatedly plotted against her. Concubines Zhiyan and Ziqing joined Liu Ying in framing and tormenting her, even poisoning her food, but she escaped death time and again. She learned to fight back and protect herself, and joined forces with palace ladies Jia and Zhang to bring down Empress Liu Ying, who was thrown into prison. Wanru became empress and managed the harem so well that she earned the emperor’s trust and grew ever more capable. As the struggle in the harem intensified, Zhiyan and Liu Ying tried to have Wanru banished to the Cold Palace, only to end up there themselves. Wanru won Ziqing over. After Liu Ying was sent to the Cold Palace, she set the harem ablaze and escaped. Years later, she returned to the palace disguised as a sixteen-year-old girl and became the emperor’s concubine. When her uncle rebelled, the emperor had him killed. Liu Ying sought revenge and killed the emperor, but the guards killed her in turn. Wanru ruled from behind the curtain with her son, Chen Ziying. Prince Zhou and others opposed them. Using an imperial edict, a map marked with the character “Ma,” and Chengcheng as leverage, Prince Zhou tried to force Emperor Chen Ziying and Wanru from power. After a struggle, Chen Ziying finally defeated Prince Zhou and unraveled the mysteries of the edict, the map, and Chengcheng’s origins. The foreign enemy had planned to invade using the map, but Emperor Chen Ziying defeated them! The people lived in peace, smiling happily once more.
