Shen Heng, a poor girl from a poor family, was drafted into the palace. She had no family backing, but she survived in the shocking harem with her resourcefulness. She overthrew the imperial concubine, defeated the concubine Shu, sent the queen away, suppressed the concubine Virtue, and rose from noble to queen's throne in many life-and-death battles. She didn't love the emperor, but she became his most trusted person; her heart was as cold as iron, but she wanted to protect the country for her son. There is no warmth in the deep palace, so you can only climb up by stepping on the bones. This is not a story about fighting for favor, but a woman's journey of blood and tears in order to survive, establish herself, and overturn her fate.
