The modern female college student Jiang Yiyi transforms into the cannon fodder palace maid Jiang Yaoyao who is about to die at the beginning of the ancient novel. Facing the cold and suspicious concubine Emperor Murong Hong, she put aside her sharp edge and relied on her exquisite darning skills to survive in the Huanyi Bureau. However, her peach blossom eyes that resembled the emperor's biological mother repeatedly caught Murong Hong's attention. From the scrutiny of Merlin's chance encounter to the sacrificial efforts of the Superintendent of Ceremonies to protect each other in the sea of fire, the relationship between the two gradually heated up amid trials and crises.
Jiang Yaoyao unexpectedly found out that she was responsible for the murder of the Su family in Jiangnan. With Murong Hong's acquiescence and support, she assisted in palace affairs and became an imperial concubine, and jointly investigated the truth. During this period, he fought against the soft concubine, defeated the witchcraft, and suppressed the undercurrent of the court. He finally overthrew the powerful minister and brought justice to the family. Murong Hong defied all opinions and showed his exclusive favor with half of the queen's ceremonial guard. He even appointed her as his queen after touring the south of the Yangtze River.
After the marriage, the emperor and empress fell in love deeply and gave birth to Prince Cheng Ye. Murong Hong devoted himself to educating young children, and even became secretly jealous because of his choice of reading companion. From the pampering in the palace wall to the fireworks and warmth in the countryside, the two work hand in hand to create a prosperous age and make a promise. A palace legend that began with a counterattack ended with the love between an equally matched emperor and empress.
