Su Nian, a modern independent woman, accidentally traveled through time and became the "Cinderella" queen of the dynasty. She was from a humble background, unfavored and powerless, and was thrown into the cold palace at the beginning. She soon discovered that her fall from grace was not an accident, but the beginning of a careful plan by the imperial concubine Xiao Yu, who was known as a "yandere" in the palace and had abnormal possessiveness towards the emperor. Xiao Ju regarded her as the dust that stained the emperor, but he even enjoyed the process of imprisoning her like a bird and admiring her struggle and fear. The emperor Xiao Su, who had a gloomy temperament and unpredictable thoughts, seemed indifferent to the harem battles, but in fact he had a panoramic view of everything. He acquiesced and even observed Xiao Yu's "game", and also secretly examined the queen who suddenly became "different". Under the threat of death and mental oppression, Su Nian had to use modern psychological knowledge to disguise himself as the "prey" Xiao Yu expected and carefully survive under the eyes of the emperor. As she gradually gets deeper into this game, she discovers that she is not only a pawn, but also gradually touches the secret trauma deep in the emperor's heart, the twisted past behind the madness of the imperial concubine, and the shocking secrets buried deep under the palace about the previous emperor, the previous dynasty, and the current emperor. This is a fatal suspense drama about survival, manipulation and sincerity, staged in a gorgeous palace.
