Chu Yu'er, who comes from a declining aristocracy, was accidentally selected into the palace and became a show girl. In the temple where intrigues and dangers abounded, she used her disguised wit, humor and unique tricks to rise to the top step by step. She made a lot of strange allies and encountered many frame-ups. As the turmoil in the court escalates, she joins forces with the cowardly emperor Zhao Chenan, who cooperates and battles wits and courage, and shuttles between love and power, alliances and hatreds, old grudges and new loves. In the four volumes, Chu Yu'er experiences power trials, palace battles, invasions by foreign enemies, and finally the domination of the world. Each volume has independent crises and echoes before and after, and finally ends with a humorous reversal and an unexpected finale.
