In her previous life, the empress Yun Jin was not only "weak in power", but she also failed miserably in the battle for the right to inherit the throne. After ascending the throne, she was still ignored by the powerful minister King Jing'an. Her most trusted wet nurse's son, the young general Lu Yunzhao, was instigated by King Jing'an to rebel at the last moment, resulting in her defeat and execution. Before she died, only the prime minister Gu Changfeng, whom she always treated harshly, tried to protect her, and he was pierced by thousands of arrows together with her. This glance became her obsession for rebirth. She realized that the fundamental reason for her failure in her previous life was that her foundation was shallow and there was no one in the government. Jumping right in will make the same mistakes again. Therefore, she chose to establish a "shadow court" among the people as her base.
