In the third year of the reign of Emperor Dajing, the Tutor's Mansion was framed and all the family members were wronged. The eldest daughter, Shen Qingci, became a pawn of the concubine Shen Qingrou. She was sent to the harem in her identity and was named a low-level talent. The former gentle but courageous daughter of the Taifu, who was proficient in medicine, chess and political strategy, has since been trapped in a red-walled prison. She can only endure and lie dormant, vowing to reverse the case for the family and punish the evildoers. In the deep palace, there are undercurrents surging, concubines vying for favor, relatives trying to gain power, Queen Mother Liu's ambition, and concubine's sister's pressing pressure, all are thorns on her way forward.
