Jiang Wenxue, an orphan from the south of the Yangtze River, entered the palace with her perfume-making skills. She seemed gentle and harmless, but in fact she was the daughter of a criminal official of the previous dynasty who came with a "secret edict to kill the king". With her skill of "Spring Letter in the Snow" Xiangfang, she rose from a low-level beauty step by step, but she didn't know that she had already entered the power chess game between the young emperor Xiao Jingheng and the regent Xiao Lin.
The puppet emperor Xiao Jingheng uses his weakness as bait to secretly control the "Xuanyi" secret guard; the domineering and domineering Concubine Shen is willing to be a pawn, luring snakes out of their holes for love; and the personal palace maid Liu Ying is a double agent, intertwining love and hate and eventually turning dark. When the Queen Mother proposes a marriage to Jiang Wenxue and pushes her to the Regent, the blood letter under the local brick reveals the truth of the secret edict, and when the Emperor hands over a knife late at night to discuss the killing plan - this competition with incense as the blade and love as the plot has long gone beyond the competition for favor in the harem.
From revealing his hidden illness and quitting the engagement to the regent's palace, to substituting secret edicts to outwit powerful officials, and then detonating palace upheaval with the incense of "Drunk Flowing Clouds", Jiang Wenxue weaves a web with fragrance, and she and Xiao Jingheng go from suspicion to cooperation to breaking the situation side by side. When the last blank secret edict is revealed and the late emperor's order of "those who win the hearts of the people sit on the dragon's throne" is revealed, will they be in charge of the country together or will they fight for life and death?
The phoenix fire burns out the power to plan the way, and the dressing table reflects the emperor's heart. Let's see how the daughter of the guilty minister achieved nirvana in the turbulent harem, and joined hands with the young emperor to write a legend of "the emperor and the empress share the same dynasty, and the empress was born".
