Gu Zhaozhao was retrieved by the old lady of the General's Mansion and made her her daughter-in-law. However, her aunt Wang and her concubine Gu Lianer plotted against her.
The unpopular third prince Chu Tingchuan helped her resolve crises many times with his calm and sinister methods, and the two went from misunderstanding to falling in love.
Gu Zhaozhao used his wisdom to counterattack his aunt's army, causing her to lose power; Tingchuan relied on Zhaozhao's support to ascend to power in the court battle, and eventually became the emperor, with Zhaozhao as his queen and his sweetheart throughout his life.
