Because Shen Zhiwei did not want to have children, she secretly rejoiced at being married to the 9,000-year-old "eunuch" Pei Xuan. After the marriage, she discovered that Pei Xuan was a fake eunuch, and the two gradually fell in love. Faced with a family fight, a palace banquet, and a struggle for imperial power, Shen Zhiwei chose to advance and retreat with Pei Xuan. Eventually, Pei Xuan became the regent. The two agreed to retire to the south of the Yangtze River after the court situation was stabilized, and work together for a stable future.
