The 100th anniversary of the founding of the Yan Dynasty coincided with continuous natural disasters (locust plagues, droughts, floods, and epidemics broke out in turn), and the people were in dire straits. Su Wanzhao, the daughter of a giant Jiangnan businessman, married into the royal family because of family interests. She not only had to deal with the serial frame-ups by the noble concubine Xiao Mingru and the suspicious indifference of the emperor Zhao Jingheng, but also had to solve crises such as material shortages, people's displacement, and court turmoil caused by natural disasters. Relying on her shrewd calculations in business and her empathy experienced at the bottom, she grew from a "chess piece" in the harem to a "controller", step by step to resolve palace intrigues and natural disasters, and ultimately allowed the country to survive the disaster years, while gaining the emperor's sincerity and the love of the people.
