Da Qi Dynasty, the fifth year of Jianyuan.
With an imperial edict, Murong Qingqian, the daughter of a fifth-rank official, was elected to the palace and canonized as the lowest-ranking scholar.
In this harem that eats people but not spits out bones, she should have perished silently without a family background - bullied, used, forgotten, and finally died of old age in some unknown corner of the palace.
But her quiet and contented nature caught the emperor's eye.
Emperor Qin Zhao had seen too many women who deliberately approached him, but this Murong Qingqian wanted to hide when she saw him, wishing to stay far away from him. This kind of "ignorance of appreciation" actually made him interested.
From a chance encounter in the imperial garden, to driving and reading late at night, from being framed and falling into the water, to cleverly plotting to find out the mastermind behind the scenes - Murong Qingqian was forced to grow up and fight back again and again in the thrilling harem struggle. She didn't want to fight, but if she didn't fight, she wouldn't even be able to save her life.
The virtuous concubine's plan, the virtuous concubine's hidden arrows, the empress dowager's test... She went from a beautiful girl to a noble, from a noble to a concubine, from a concubine to a concubine, from a concubine to a noble concubine, and finally, step by step, she reached the position that all women in the world dream of - the queen.
And throughout this whole process, she never lost her true heart. She doesn't want to be a puppet on strings or a machine competing for favor. What she wants to do is herself. It was this sobriety and tenacity that truly moved the emperor.
From a show girl to a queen, it is a journey. She walked this road for three full years. .
