The concubine Chi Rou was already engaged, but due to the sudden death of her sister-in-law, the queen, she was forcibly sent to the palace by her family and became the emperor's substitute in memory of her deceased sister. She took care of the prince and the ninth princess in the palace, and accidentally uncovered the truth about her sister's murder. In order to protect her loved ones and break free from the shackles of fate, Chi Rou relied on the power of her family and her uncle to help the ninth princess Zhao Yuan seize power and ascend the throne. In the end, Zhao Yuan created a new prosperous era in which women could freely marry and serve as officials in the court. Chi Rou became the queen mother and reunited with her aunt who had been waiting for many years, completely rewriting the fate of herself and the women in the world.
