Shangguan Qing was an official woman with great ambitions and wanted to be a female official serving the people. After returning home, she was tricked by her stepmother into drafting her stepsister into the palace. Because she did not bribe the eunuchs and painters, she was left out of the palace. She used the knowledge she learned to farm, grow flowers, and make wine in the harem, and made a group of friends. Later, the Huns wanted to make peace with the princess, but Shangguan Qing was framed by the eunuchs and forced to make peace. On the way to get married, she encountered extreme weather and got separated from the escorting party, but was rescued by a scholar. The two spent several days in the mountains admiring each other. Shangguan Qing was found by the escorts and sent to the court of the Huns. Because she was separated from the escort team, she was considered a spy and was mistreated by the Khan of the Huns. She was also found to be impersonating a princess and was kicked out of the palace by the Khan to fend for herself. On the way to escape, Shangguan Qing relied on her intelligence and skills to not only protect herself but also accumulate some wealth. When I met the scholar again, I found out that he was Tuoba Hao, the leader of a Xiongnu tribe. The two of them talk to each other, appreciate each other, and come together. Shangguan Qing helped Tuoba Hao strengthen the tribe, unite the weak, and attack the tribe that bullied the weak. It became stronger and stronger, approaching the court of the Huns. After several years of fighting, Tuoba Hao unified the Xiongnu. Shangguanqing was homesick and returned to the Central Plains to visit relatives. The emperor saw her true appearance and wanted to take her by force, but was woken up by Shangguan Qing's scolding. Shangguan Qing and Tuoba Hao concealed their identities and returned home, but were poisoned by their stepmother and younger sister. The younger sister also tried to climb into Tuoba Hao's bed, but was sentenced to death by the clan leader after she failed. Shangguan Qing was unable to get pregnant due to poisoning. She wanted to stay in the Central Plains but was rejected by Tuoba Hao. The two returned to the Xiongnu, and together they strengthened the country's power and were loved by the people.
