After her mother died in a palace fight, Su Wantang, a daughter of a Jiangnan noble family, decided to show off during the draft to avoid being favored. However, she was selected by Emperor Xiao Jingheng because of her true appearance of deliberately breaking a tea cup. After entering the palace, she pretended to be ill, hid from attendants, and deliberately did wrong things in an attempt to make the emperor dislike her. However, because she "didn't play by the rules", she aroused Xiao Jingheng's interest. Faced with the concubine's calculations, she responded in a subtle way - for example, when her opponent falsely accused her of cursing the pregnant concubine, she directly admitted "I just don't like her", which made the emperor think she was honest; her opponent sent poisonous cakes, but she ate them in front of everyone and said, "I don't want to live anyway", scaring her opponent away from touching her again. As time went by, Xiao Jingheng gradually fell in love with her reality, and she gradually accepted the palace life while showing off, and eventually became the queen. She used "flat management" to make the harem peaceful, achieving the anti-routine ending of "you can win even if you show off".
