The Bones of Good Men Die in the Dust, and the Bad Reputation Lives On.

The heroine, who was born as the prime minister's concubine, was chosen as her successor. After entering the palace, she lived in the shadow of the reputation of the virtuous late empress Xu Mengjun, who died young. She had no intention of competing for fame, but only wanted to live a stable life. She changed the lenient nature of the former empress, rectified the harem with an iron fist, punished the unruly slaves, subdued the concubines and a group of confidants, and also saw clearly the coldness and selfishness of the emperor. When she was being framed, she was accidentally rescued due to the good deeds of the empress during her lifetime. She finally decided to fight back and secretly attacked the emperor to find a way out for herself.
