Seven years after Han Gao, the Dou Mansion in Handan collapsed overnight.
The Dou family, once a prominent family in Zhao Dixuan, was accused of treason by Luo Zhi because they refused to succumb to the lustful power of the Lu family. The whole family was covered in bloodshed, and a hundred years of glory was reduced to scorched earth. Fifteen-year-old Dou Yifang, who was transformed from a noble daughter into an orphan girl, clutched the broken black pen with the word "an" engraved on it, and swore in the wind and snow: to live, to find her mother, and to avenge her family's blood feud.
She was forcibly dispatched as an informant, and worked step by step amidst the suspicion of Empress Dowager Bo, the frame-up of Cheng Ji, and the assassinations of the remnants of the Lu family. The pity of the acting king Liu Heng was the glimmer of light in her desperate situation, but it also drew her into a deeper vortex of intrigue. From the side hall of the Dai Di to the Weiyang Jiao Fang, she endured the humiliation and stayed dormant, used her wits to break the situation, used the sword to eliminate the traitor, and finally gained a foothold in the turbulent Han Palace.
Zhu Lu was in chaos, Chang'an was bleeding, and she followed Liu Heng into Weiyang, but she was trapped by the clan, heroes, and old concubines. Yin Ji framed an affair, and Shi Ji murdered the emperor's heir. She cleared the harem with iron and blood tactics, protected her loved ones with a benevolent heart, and finally became the empress of the Han Dynasty, her mother's honor to the world.
The frosty moon shines on the Han Palace every year. She has gone from an orphaned girl to the top of power. Looking back at the journey, the Broken Dai pen in her palm is still warm. The word "an", from the family's expectation of stability, eventually became the echo of Chang'an in the prosperous age.
