[Ancient myth of Machiavellian plot/Woman disguised as a man/Two-way secret love/Reunion] In order to seize the throne, the empress Xie Heng disguised herself as a man and took her brother's place on the throne. However, due to the empty treasury, she entered into a power and wealth deal with the wealthy businessman Shen Mingyan. Shen Mingyan used the affection of his childhood sweetheart as bait and was willing to be her "money bag", paving the way for her amidst court intrigues and border crises. Xie Heng initially mistakenly thought that Shen Mingyan was greedy for power and was tempted by him. It was not until Shen Mingyan was injured for her that the two broke the barrier. In the end, Xie Heng secured the throne under the protection of Shen Mingyan and a close friend. He also stayed with her in the name of "Queen", moving from a strategic partner to a two-way love between an empress and an empress.
