Three days before her wedding, Su Li, the legitimate daughter of Duke Dingguo, was reborn. The pain in her throat from the poisonous wine in her previous life had not gone away, so she tore open the hypocrisy of her concubine Su Wan. She used the music to lure Su Wan into losing her composure at the prince's concubine selection banquet, and even used the imperial doctor to expose her stepmother Aunt Liu's identity as an enemy spy. On the night when the blood feud was avenged, the sixth prince Jun Yichen broke in with a sword, and the sword tip knocked out the secret message in her hand - the ironclad proof that the prince was collaborating with the enemy, which became the beginning of their alliance.
The prince's party set up a trap to frame Jun Yichen for his rebellion. Su Li cut her black hair to swear an oath, and led Jun Yichen's private soldiers across the Cangjiang River at night to burn the enemy's food and fodder to retrieve the evidence. During the confrontation in the Golden Palace, her blood-stained white clothes and the prince's golden crown reflected the candlelight, finally causing the emperor to depose the crown prince. At the ceremony of conferring the queen, enemy assassins suddenly launched an attack, but they were blown to pieces by the gunpowder hidden under her wedding dress. The queen was buried in flying ashes and paid homage to her, while the bloody wedding candle illuminated the mountains and rivers.
After he ascended the throne, a plague raged in the south of the Yangtze River. Su Li cut open a merchant ship transporting medicine, revealing the gold hidden by Zhao Hong's gang; Jun Yichen marched north to conquer the rebels, pointing his sword at the main altar of the Netherworld Cult, breaking the dream of the remnants of the previous dynasty to restore the country. When the dust settled, the emperor and the empress stood together in the Star-Zhaing Tower, holding swords and splitting the bronze nine-cauldron symbolizing imperial power, and the corn poured out of the cauldron like a waterfall. Su Li picked up one and put it into Jun Yichen's palm: "I died in a conspiracy in my previous life, but in this life I want the people to live in this handful of rice fragrance."
