In the Liang Dynasty, the imperial power and the aristocratic families jointly ruled the world. The Duke of Zhenguo was the founding father of the country and was extremely powerful. However, he was involved in the "rebellion case" of the previous dynasty and faced internal and external troubles. Among the nobles in the capital, weddings, banquets, and poetry gatherings are all manifestations of power games. They secretly form cliques for personal gain, create conflicts, and resort to all possible means. The story starts from the Zhenguo Palace and gradually extends to the East Palace, Harem, and Court Hall, showing a grand picture of power and emotion intertwined. In the court, the prince Xiao Jingheng and the second prince Xiao Jinyuan were fighting openly and secretly. The courtiers belonged to two factions, and the situation was like boiling water. As the leader of the old honours, the Zhenguo Government not only wanted to protect itself, but also wanted to take advantage of the situation and gain power, becoming the focus of co-optation and suppression by all parties. In this era of strict hierarchy and ironclad ethics, a woman's fate often depends on the thought of marriage, and Gu Mingzhu is the one who is pushed to the forefront.
