Shen Qingci, the concubine of the Zhenguo Palace, took the initiative to be selected into the palace in order to find out the truth about the mysterious drowning of her biological mother. She was granted the title of Talented Person for the first time and lived in the remote Tingzhuxuan. There were turbulent undercurrents in the palace, suppression by high-ranking concubines and plots by low-ranking sisters followed one after another. She relied on her superb medical knowledge and calm mind to save herself from danger many times.
When she meets Emperor Xiao Yi by chance, she refuses to be attached to him. Instead, she stands out for her ability to "discriminate between poisons and protect the emperor" and "expertly solves the Queen Mother's old illnesses", which offends the arrogant Concubine Shu and the hypocritical Concubine Xian. Facing Concubine Shu's deduction of status and humiliation, she collected evidence to rebel against the general; she saw through Concubine Xian's "self-induced fetal instability" conspiracy and helped Xiao Yi expose the conspiracy.
Xiao Yi saw her circling around the harem and admired her resourcefulness, but also felt sorry for her tenacity, and gradually fell in love with her. From temptation to side by side, the two fought against the undercurrents of the court and the harem. In the deep palace with red walls, they wrote a chapter of pure love that "the emperor's heart is only favored and only protects the queen." Shen Qingci finally found out the cause of his biological mother's death and became his mother Zhaoxue.
