Shen Qingtang, the concubine of the Marquis of Zhenguo in the Chu Dynasty, had a mother who was a witch doctor from a southwestern tribe. After her early death, she was demoted to a rough kitchen maid by the Marquis, but she secretly inherited her mother's witchcraft powers (knowledge of herbal medicines, and the use of poisonous insects to exorcise evil spirits and cure diseases). At the age of 18, her aunt-in-law, in order to pave the way for her aunt-in-law, falsely accused her of having an affair with a servant and wanted to sell her. Qingtang used witch grass to resolve the crisis and expose the conspiracy. From then on, she started a counterattack in the house: first dealing with the maids and sisters who bullied her, and then dealing with her aunt-in-law's minions. Then she discovered The witchcraft inheritance secret treasure left by her mother, and at the same time met General Gu Zhaoyan who was guarding the border. The two worked together to protect the Hou Mansion, against the demon cultivators and court opponents who wanted to seize the secret treasure, and eventually became the mistress of the Hou family, using witchcraft power to protect the family and gain love.
