Feng Zhaoyi (Feng Ruozhao) went from being a concubine in Prince Yong's palace to becoming the concubine of the Qianlong Dynasty. She lived in the red-walled palace for ninety-three years. She endured for half her life, hiding her resentment towards Nian Shilan, her hatred towards Zhen Huan, and her pain towards Long Yue's distant marriage. She worked step by step in the whirlpool of power, and finally established herself with the word "respect", maintaining her honor and guarding her life's regrets and obsessions. The story is connected by her memories, showing the helplessness and tenacity of the woman in the palace. The highlight is the counterattack behind the forbearance. The conflict stems from the tearing of imperial power, favor and family affection.
