Chu Zhao, the regent of Dachu (whose parents were killed by Sanxiang and had endured ten years), wanted to overthrow the three prime ministers who controlled the government, the General of Zhenguo, the Minister of Hubu, and the Minister of Rites. He used tact to approach the legitimate daughters of Sanxiang - Leng Shuang (Gao Leng), the female general of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, Leng Yan (Gao Leng), the female accountant of the Hubu Shangshu Mansion, and Leng Xue (Gao Leng), the female accountant of the Minister of Rites' Mansion. He used tricks to make the three of them fall in love with him, and used his identity to obtain evidence of Sanxiang's crime. In the process, he gradually became sincere towards the three of them. After the three discovered his plan, they struggled from coldness to despair. In the end, Sanxiang fell and Chu Zhao reached the top. However, Leng Shuang died in battle, Leng Yan committed suicide, and Leng Xue sacrificed himself, leaving him to die alone and spend his whole life in regret.
