The heroine, who comes from a down-and-out official family, enters the palace as a showgirl in order to rehabilitate her family. She originally wanted to stay low-key and look for evidence, but she encounters the prince's male protagonist named Hua Daizhao in the imperial garden, who is actually dormant and seizing the throne. The male protagonist appears to be romantic and idle, but in reality he is doing everything in his power; the female protagonist appears to be weak and pretty, but in reality is deeply scheming and vengeful. The two accidentally discovered each other's secrets and were forced to form an alliance.
The two staged a "love at first sight" drama in the palace to cover up the public, and worked together to eradicate their dissidents. The female protagonist defeats the domineering concubine and the vicious queen who is eager for revenge in the harem, and rises to the top; the male protagonist eliminates the traitors in the court and takes back the imperial power. In the end, the two fell in love with each other through the fake show, and the heroine helped the hero ascend to the throne of God, becoming a virtuous queen, and fulfilling the promise of being together for the rest of their lives.
