Gu Qingyan, the daughter of a guilty minister, stepped into the Forbidden City in the lowest rank of "changing clothes" to save her father and brother from exile. Inside the red wall, she has no family to rely on, but relies on her mother's medical knowledge and ability to discern people, and she survives step by step amid the difficulties in the court and the traps of concubines - from saving the concubine in the imperial garden to gaining the attention of the queen mother, to taking advantage of the epidemic prevention to show her talents, and then to uniting her allies to fight against the empress and concubine Li.
The cold-faced emperor Huang Jingyao initially scolded her for "transgressing", but was gradually moved by her sobriety and tenacity. The two of them tested each other and trusted each other amidst the turmoil in the harem and the undercurrent of the past, and performed a two-way journey without industrial saccharine. There is no mindless competition for favor here, only the self-growth of women in difficult situations: Gu Qingyan not only saves her family, but also reforms the old customs of the harem, using her strength to prove that "the palace is not a prison, and you can be free if your heart has a direction."
