In the eyes of outsiders, the Queen Su Wanwan of the Great Xia Dynasty and the imperial concubine Liu Ruyan are mortal enemies. The queen is dignified and virtuous but seems to have no sacred heart. The noble concubine is enchanting and charming and is always by your side. The Sixth Palace all say that the noble concubine will take the queen's place sooner or later.
However, no one knows that whenever night falls, there are always two figures gathering together in the secret room of Kunning Palace or in the hidden corner of the imperial garden.
"Wanwan, come and try my newly stolen... New royal wine!"
"Yanyan, the emperor rewarded you with Dongzhu today? Give me half, and I'll help you get a new pair of earrings. I'll make that manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who always deducts my share!"
In front of others, they competed with each other, quarreled, and acted out a long-lasting palace fight; behind the scenes, they were true besties who shared secrets and supported each other. In the deep palace of cannibalism, each other was the only light.
Until a huge conspiracy affecting the former harem quietly descended, trying to devour the two of them together. The balance they carefully maintained was broken, and the fake show had to be done for real, and they even needed to push each other into more dangerous situations in order to survive...
Can they protect each other's lives and this unparalleled friendship in the turbulent palace? Where will the positions of the Phoenix Seat and the Imperial Concubine ultimately belong?
