Food blogger and miracle doctor Su Ruan transmigrates into the neglected legitimate daughter of the prime minister's household and gets bound to a “Palace Intrigue Promotion System.” From the start, she's forced to take part in the selection of imperial consorts. To survive the deadly harem and complete the System's “White Moonlight/Alluring Charm” missions, she sets her sights on the all-powerful Nine-Thousand-Year-Old (the male lead, a fake eunuch who is actually the emperor's younger brother and the leader of the underworld organization Asura Gate). On the surface, Su Ruan pretends to be utterly devoted to him, even claiming not to mind his “incomplete” body, and does everything she can to charm and seduce him. Inwardly, though, she constantly calls him a “damned eunuch” and a “pervert,” and thinks it's a shame he has such a handsome face.
What she doesn't know is that the male lead, his birth mother (the Empress Dowager), and his elder brother (the puppet emperor) can all hear her thoughts. Watching her feed him poisoned pastries while cursing him in her head, the male lead finds her amusing and plays along. Thanks to her superb medical skills and extraordinary cooking, Su Ruan thrives in the palace. She even cures the Empress Dowager's chronic illness and wins over the entire harem with her delicious food.
Midway through the story, a reborn female villain appears and tries to expose Su Ruan, only to be elegantly put in her place. After a System mission goes wrong, Su Ruan and the male lead take their “pretend romance” too far, and she unexpectedly gets pregnant. Thinking she's doomed for putting horns on a eunuch, she uses the spirit spring in her space to exchange for a fake-death pill, then flees while pregnant. The male lead searches for her like a madman and eventually captures her in the martial world under his identity as the master of Asura Gate. He launches a long campaign to win her back, reveals his identity, ascends the throne, and devotes himself to her alone.
