Lin Wantang, a modern financial elite, accidentally traveled to the fictional Daliang Dynasty and became the daughter of a seventh-rank official who was about to enter the palace. In this era where imperial power is supreme and women are dependent on others, she has neither a family to rely on nor a golden finger to support her. She only has a calm and rational mind and a knowledge that spans a thousand years.
She knows very well that in the harem, beauty is the cheapest bargaining chip, and favor is the most unreliable reliance. What she wanted was never the king's affection, but the irreplaceable value - to make the emperor inseparable from her, not as a woman, but as a counselor, as an arm, as the only confidant in this chess game.
From the low-ranking talents selected to enter the palace to the empress who has been in charge of the sixth palace through the ages, she reconstructed the harem management with business thinking, used financial means to innovate the national finance, and navigated the turbulent court and harem step by step. This is not a story about love, but a story about wisdom, ambition and awakening - when she stands on the top of power and overlooks the world, she wants to be more than just a queen, but to rewrite all definitions of women in this era.
"They say women should not be involved in politics, so I will make sure no one in the world dares to say that."
