Shen Meizhuang never thought until his death that after he took his last breath in Broken Yuxuan, he would open his eyes and find a different world - a dazzling gilded copper lamp, a deep robe wrapped around his body, and the eunuch's shrill voice of "the deposed empress Chen receives the order" could still be heard in his ears!
She actually dressed up as Chen Ajiao, the legendary "golden house hidden beauty" in the Han Dynasty, but ended up being deposed! As soon as he received the memories, he had to face the edict of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che to abolish the queen. He was surrounded by frightened palace people, and outside the palace was the favored Wei Zifu. Even the Jiaofang Palace he lived in had to be replaced by the remote Changmen Palace.
In the past in the Qing Palace, she relied on Zhen Huan's "fighting without fighting" to survive the cold palace; now she has become Chen Ajiao, and this wisdom from her old friend has become her strongest support. She suppressed her shock, put away her original owner's arrogance, and guarded the Changmen Palace in plain clothes and a hairpin: she read the Chinese classics to learn the etiquette to avoid being exposed, she was kind to the palace people and used to calm people's hearts, she did not confront Wei Zifu when he was provoked, and even when Liu Che sent people to test her, she could talk him out of the "Golden House" without being humble or overbearing.
No one knows that this "Chen Ajiao" who is no longer acting mischievously pretends to be Shen Meizhuang from the Qing Dynasty. She recited Zhen Huan's instructions and lurked in the Han Palace step by step: she helped the palace people to gain prestige, she used "thousands of gold to buy gifts" to express her sincerity, and she used her clear mind to dismantle Wei Zifu's "virtuous" façade. Liu Che gradually discovered that the "Gillian" in front of him was no longer the arrogant princess back then, but a confidant who could understand him, accompany him, and even talk about court affairs.
From the deposed queen of Changmen Palace to the special favorite who once again stood by Liu Che's side, Shen Meizhuang took on the identity of Chen Ajiao and blazed her own path in the Han Palace.
