In the Daqian Dynasty, a unique era in which the "steam core" was the lifeblood of the country, where machinecraft and traditional palace intrigues were intertwined, the story of the counterattack of Mo Yuan, the daughter of a criminal minister. She has a blood feud and is trapped in the palace as a low-level talent. Within the palace walls, she did not rely on traditional palace fighting methods, but relied on the sophisticated mechanism skills inherited from her family and regarded as "wonderful and cunning" by the world, to resolve crises and break the deadlock step by step. From making exquisite self-ringing clocks and mechanical birds that look real, to secretly laying out "eavesdropping spider webs" to monitor the harem, to designing "steam crossbows" and "organ barriers" that can affect the battle situation. She turns the cold gears, springs and pistons into the sharpest weapons and the strongest shields. In the mutual testing, exploitation and emotional entanglement with the suspicious and sinister young emperor Xiao Heng, Mo Yuan not only cleared the grievances of the family, but also used the power of "ingenuity" to push this decadent dynasty into an unprecedented new era driven by steam and gears. In the end, she wore the phoenix crown and became the unique "Ingenuity Queen" in the history of the Daqian Dynasty.
