Shen Miao, the legitimate daughter of the general's palace, was forced to marry into the palace and became Xiao Moyan's queen. However, she was framed (false pregnancy, murder of the prince) and was thrown into the cold palace, and her family was confiscated and exterminated. In the cold palace, she used ruthless means to get rid of the palace maids who bullied her, win over the loyal maids, and secretly investigate the truth behind the frame-up. Later, she took advantage of the Queen Mother's birthday banquet to design a scheme to expose the concubine who framed her and regain the emperor's attention. After that, she gradually eliminated the villains in the harem (green tea concubines, hypocritical nuns), won over the forces of the former dynasty (censors, generals), and finally found out the truth about the demise of the family (the emperor exterminated the family in order to consolidate the imperial power), and used her own strategies and methods to become the direct concubine of the powerful harem. Emperor Xiao Moyan gradually fell into paranoid love for her from his initial indifference and suspicion. Finally, he put aside his imperial power and dignity, knelt down and begged her to remarry, and the two of them joined hands to create a prosperous age.
