During the Qingyuan period of the Dajing Dynasty, Shen Qingtang, the concubine of the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion, was regarded as a disaster star because of her destiny of "killing her mother and her husband". She was driven to live in a woodshed since she was a child, and suffered all kinds of difficulties from her concubine Lin and her brother Shen Mingxuan. She endured it for many years, secretly collecting evidence that Lin murdered her mother and designed to kill her fiancé. She happened to meet Gu Zhaozhi, a new academician who she had saved back then. With the help of Gu Zhaozhi, Shen Qingtang exposed Lin's crimes, divorced the scumbag Shen Mingxuan, gradually resolved the internal crisis in the Hou Mansion, and became the actual leader of the Hou Mansion. Gu Zhaozhi was promoted from Jinshi to Chief Assistant and always accompanied him affectionately. The two worked together to deal with officialdom struggles and family conspiracies, and finally broke the "Kfu" rumor and gained a happy love.
