Murong Zhaolin, a noble daughter of an aristocratic family, was ordered to enter the palace. She originally only wanted to live a stable life and protect her clan. However, due to her outstanding appearance and clear mind, she caught the attention of Emperor Wen Shuheng, and she was promoted from a low-ranking scholar to a concubine. In the vast palace, the concubines have their own hidden agendas, the noble concubines form cliques and concubines, the low-ranking concubines cling to plots, and the disputes in the former court threaten the harem step by step. As an emperor, Wen Shuheng weighs the pros and cons with his heart concerned about the country. His affection is wrapped in imperial suspicion, and he is sometimes gentle and protective, sometimes cold and distant. Murong Zhaolin was forced to put away her innocence and deal with the thrilling power struggles step by step. While dealing with the hidden secrets of the harem, she also figured out the unpredictable thoughts of the emperor. Struggling between love and self-preservation, she used her wits to break through a series of traps, and gradually grew from a chess piece at the mercy of others to a powerful person who could stand in Fengque. Within the cold palace wall, she had been entangled in love and hate with Wen Shuheng for half her life, and wrote a story of ups and downs in the palace.
