In the third year of Yonghui in Dayue, Shen Qingchen, the concubine of Shen Shangshu's family, entered the palace as a maid on behalf of her eldest sister who died suddenly. The moment he stepped into the palace gate, the apricot blossoms were covered with dew, but they could not hide the turbulent undercurrent in the palace. The aunt in charge made things difficult for her, Liu Rumei framed her, and her father's ruthless actions to cling to the prime minister forced her into a desperate situation.
Occasionally, she discovered evidence that her father and the prime minister had an affair with the enemy, and this evidence was actually in the hands of Concubine Shu. The appearance of the mysterious man in black robes plunged her into a whirlpool of conspiracy. When the emperor appeared late at night and issued a secret order to "overthrow the prime minister," Shen Qingchen understood that he had become a key piece in the chess game.
From a concubine abandoned by her family to being involved in the center of palace intrigues, how should Shen Qingchen survive in the turbulent harem? Can he seek justice for himself and his mother in this life-and-death game? A thrilling battle for the palace began.
