Su Weiwan, the concubine of the Prime Minister, entered the palace in order to find out the truth about her mother's "death of illness" and settled in the remote Suiyuxuan. The harem is full of crises: the eldest sister Su Qingyao is a noble concubine, and she is domineering and a thorn in her side; the queen relies on her relatives to take power and treats lower-ranking concubines harshly; the other concubines are either dependent or plotting against her.
Without the blessing of a golden finger, Su Weiwan relied on resourcefulness to deal with the situation: her eldest sister used "poison rouge" to frame her, and she used the palace maid to prove her innocence; the queen used "disobedience" to punish her by kneeling, and she used "copying scriptures in the snow" to attract Xiao Jingyuan's attention. Xiao Jingyuan was tentative about her at first, but he was gradually attracted by her tenacity and intelligence - she could banquet at the palace and solve the difficulties caused by neighboring countries, she could save the queen mother with her medical knowledge, and she could even share his worries in the whirlpool of power and intrigue.
The two went from temptation to trust. Xiao Jingyuan broke the palace rules for her, denounced the imperial concubine, and protected her; Su Weiwan stabilized the harem for him, guarded against his relatives, and helped him gain power. The struggle in the harem was intertwined with the conspiracy of the former dynasty. They used love as a shield and wisdom as a blade to overcome obstacles. Within the cold palace walls, Su Weiwan not only avenged her mother, but also wrote a pure love legend with Xiao Jingyuan in which the emperor and the concubine share the same heart and control the mountains and rivers.
