In the third year of Jingyou's reign in the Northern Song Dynasty, the palaces of Yangzhou officials were shrouded in prosperity and darkness. The plots of superiority and inferiority, and the treacherous nature of people's hearts, never ceased. Seven-year-old Minglan, a concubine, has lived in the cold and dilapidated Tinglan Courtyard since she was a child. She has been dependent on her gentle and forbearing biological mother. She has been exploited and bullied by her servants all year round, and secretly framed by her aunt. She has struggled to survive step by step in the cold eyes and tempers.
She is intelligent and transparent, hiding her edge and being humble, docile and calm in front of others, and she secretly understands all the rules and dangers of the deep house. A stunning comeback at a pot-throwing banquet made her stand out, but it also brought disaster, making the already struggling Tinglan Academy the target of public criticism. The backyard is being seduced and framed, servants are framed and blamed, the concubines are quarreling endlessly, the river is shaken up again, nobles are attacked and disappeared, the city is in turmoil, and the Sheng Mansion is completely involved in the whirlpool.
The biological mother is dying in childbirth and is in a desperate situation without help. The loyal servant has been wronged and wronged. The people in the house are cold and cold-eyed. In a desperate situation, Gu Tingye, the legitimate son of the Hou Mansion who returned from the brink of death, broke through the cold and opened up a glimmer of hope for the miserable mother and daughter. After experiencing the desperate situation of life and death, reading the good and evil of people's hearts, the ignorant girl lost her innocence and completely saw the truth behind the deep house. From then on, she restrained her weakness, planned step by step, used her strength to break the situation, endured and lurked, and protected her loved ones, resisted evil and evil, established herself in the rich house where power was entangled and stormy, and she gradually broke away from her humble fate, waiting for a comeback in the future.
