The counterattack of the deposed prince's personal maid.
Emperor Jingming was seriously ill and secretly summoned the deposed prince Zhou Yun to return to the capital. Zhou Yun and Lin Zhuer separated after experiencing twists and turns in Dingzhou. Zhou Yun returned to the palace alone, while Lin Zhuer stayed behind to take care of Grandma Kong, who was seriously ill. After returning to the palace, Zhou Yun was caught in the whirlpool of power and the new emperor was restored. He dealt with the queen mother and the emperor, trying to regain trust, and at the same time he was worried about Lin Zhuer and Grandma Kong in Dingzhou.
In order to save Grandma Kong, Lin Zhuer found a century-old ginseng, but was involved in the conspiracy of King Liang. Later, she encountered a woman from southern Xinjiang who had her face changed, and fell into a life-and-death crisis. Finally, she lived in the south of the Yangtze River as Cui Yue. After Zhou Yun was restored to the crown prince, he learned that Lin Zhuer was "dead", and he embarked on the road of revenge out of grief.
In addition, the implementation of the land equalization order in Jiangnan caused many conflicts. He Zheng, the magistrate of Wushui County, stood up for justice but was framed. There were also hidden disputes within the Cui family. The fates of Cui Huaizhang, Cui Yue and others were closely intertwined with the court and local situations. The forces of all parties jointly wrote a story full of conspiracy, resistance and protection amid the pull of power, morality and emotion.
