The imperial power of the Dajing Dynasty fell away, and powerful officials controlled the government and the public. Emperor Xiao Che was regarded as a puppet, writing and painting behind closed doors all day long, and never interfered with the government's affairs. Xie Mingshu, the legitimate daughter of an aristocratic family, was treated as a pawn in the family's game and forced to enter the palace and become the queen. In front of others, she was gentle, respectful and uncontested, but everyone in the harem regarded her as a soft persimmon, and even the powerful officials believed that she could not make waves.
But underneath the surface, it's all calculation: Xie Mingshu knows people's hearts well, is good at dealing with people, and doesn't want to be reduced to a pawn all his life; Xiao Che seems to be lazy and idle, but in fact he has been dormant for more than ten years, secretly cultivating confidants and collecting evidence of crimes. The harem is constantly under attack, the front dynasty is full of murderous intentions, and the family is still exerting pressure from behind. The emperor and empress went from testing each other and being wary of each other to joining forces to break the situation again and again. She uses her strength to stabilize the family, and he takes action to eliminate evildoers, and feelings gradually arise in the power struggle. The two of them beat the villains in the face, gradually gained power, and finally overthrew the powerful ministers and firmly grasped the imperial power.
