Lin Chuyao, an official lady, was drafted into the palace and gradually distinguished herself with her talent and tenacity. She formed an alliance with Xiao Wanqing, a bold martial arts daughter, and Shen Mingzhu, a shrewd wealthy businessman's daughter, and supported each other in the whirlpool of power. However, there is an undercurrent of revenge plan by Su Li, the survivor of the previous dynasty, and the jealousy and calculations of the concubines in the harem follow one after another. Lin Chuyao first showed her talents in the poetry competition and the palace crisis, and she also explored the sincerity between the cold and warm attitudes of the emperor Gu Jinglan. When Su Li's conspiracy comes to light, the three women will face a life-or-death decision - should they continue to work together, or should they each seek their own way out at the peak of power? This court game ultimately points to not only the battle for high status, but also the ultimate pursuit of self-worth.
