Xie Wanniang, the legitimate daughter of the Xie family who was born mute, was forced to marry the puppet emperor He Chao and became a pawn for her father, Prime Minister Xie, to contain the imperial power. The ridicule on the wedding night and surveillance outside the bed tent turned the two into accomplices who hated each other but had to cooperate with each other. In the deep palace, a brocade quilt separated the distance, but it could not block the temptation and empathy in the loneliness of the night. He Chao complained about the power of powerful ministers. Xie Wanniang listened silently. Unknowingly, the disgust gradually disappeared and love secretly emerged. As the He Dynasty secretly accumulated power, Prime Minister Xie's oppression became more and more fierce. The heirs were persecuted and the court was framed one after another. An unexpected pregnancy brought a turning point in the relationship between the two.
