- Background: During the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, it strictly adheres to the original palace structure, character relationships and core historical facts (Ye Lanyi's poisoning, the truth about the twins, the affair between Meizhuang and Wen Shichu, etc.), Abandons the sadistic palace battles, and focuses on "the emperor's rebirth and redemption + making up for regrets".
- Rebirth node: After Yongzheng (Yin Zhen) died, he was reborn when Ye Lanyi had just gained favor and began to secretly mix cinnabar into the elixir. Concubine Hua was favored and the queen was obsessed with the concubine. The key node of Zhen Huan's first entry into the palace was the heartache of being betrayed in the previous life, guilt and regret for the queen Hua Concubine (in her previous life, she mistrusted Zhen Huan and condoned the palace fight, which led to the tragedy of the two of them).
- Core tone: The emperor takes the initiative to break the situation, avoiding all the fatal traps in the previous life, while uncovering potential threats (Ye Lanyi, Zhen Huan's gang members), while making up for his debt to the queen and concubine Hua. The three of them go from suspicion to trust, and work together to protect the harem and the country. There is no malicious fight throughout the process, focusing on "favor" and "redemption".
