Jiang Shiyao, the daughter of the Minister of Household Affairs, was originally Bai Yueguang from the capital. She was engaged to Shen Yanxun, the prince of Dingyuan Hou, but was framed by Qiu Xuici, the prime minister's legitimate daughter. Qiu Xueci ruined her reputation and had a relationship with Shen Yanxun, and relied on her family's power to force Jiang Shiyao to leave the capital. In the past three years, Jiang Shiyao traveled to the south of the Yangtze River. With the help of the emperor Xie Chen, he found out the evidence of Prime Minister Qiu's corruption of disaster funds. He was also awarded the title of Lord of Minghua County for his merits in disaster relief. After returning to the capital, she faced her former enemies at the flower viewing banquet and presented ironclad evidence at the Jinluan Palace to overthrow the Qiu family. And her friendship with Xie Chen also gradually grew during the planning. In the end, Xie Chen proposed and Jiang Shiyao became the queen. The two broke the shackles and established a female official system.
