In the third year of Yonghui in the Tang Dynasty, all the Shen family members in Jiangnan were convicted overnight. Fifteen-year-old Shen Qingwan was reduced from an official lady to a criminal slave in a court. Before her death, her father entrusted her to find out the truth about the unjust case.
In Ye Ting, she endured the humiliation and carried the burden, taking care of herself step by step. With her outstanding talent and intelligence, she stood out from the lowest level of Sasou palace maid and was elected to the Shang Palace Bureau. By chance, she rescued Wei Wang Li Chengze who left the palace incognito, and the two secretly fell in love.
From a sinful slave in Yeting to a female official in the palace, from the crown prince's concubine to the empress of the Tang Dynasty, and then to the queen mother who became the queen of the dynasty - Shen Qingwan spent her life proving that women are no worse than men.
Not only did she clear her family's grievances, but she also showed the world that women can stand upright.
"In this life, she walked through the mud, walked through mountains of swords and seas of fire, and finally stood at the highest point. But she knew that the highest point was not the pinnacle of power, but - she lived the way she wanted."
