In Dayan's harem, the fifth-grade Wanyi Su Wan entered the palace for the first time. She was filled with the tenderness of Emperor Yuan Qi, thinking that her sincerity could be exchanged for exclusive favor. However, Liu Qin, the noble concubine of Hua Dynasty, and the forces of the Liu family of the previous dynasty were pressing forward step by step: intercepting her sleeping cards, changing the autumn hunting list to frame the Su family, adding sleeping herbs to the soothing soup to harm the emperor's heart, and even her father, Su Shilang, was impeached and suppressed by the Liu family.
From being framed for having an allergy to the sachet, to being framed for having an affair, Su Wan was completely awakened by betrayals and calculations - there is no sincerity in the harem, and only power is the foundation of a life. She put aside her love and used the clerical experience left by her mother to lay out the plan, teamed up with the palace maid Fang Xing and the clerical lady Huang Rong to dismantle the conspiracy, peeling off Liu Qin's hypocritical mask. She also used the dynamics in the harem to contain the Liu family's former power, allowing Yuan Qi to see clearly the Liu family's ambitions.
When the love she once had turned into a ladder to ascend to the throne, Su Wan stood at the top of the harem, with nothing but coldness in her eyes. In this Yan Palace Throne, she has never relied on love, but on ruthlessness that will never look back. And what kind of fatal plan does Liu Qin's unfinished "autumn hunting backhand" hide? A chess game in the palace, where you will be tortured first and then satisfied, is waiting to be revealed.
Purpose: Taking Dayan's harem as a mirror, and using the arc of Su Wan's "falling in love → disillusionment → blackening and fighting for power" to reveal the truth of life that "there is no true love in the harem, power is the foundation of one's life" - when love becomes a bargaining chip in the power game, and sincerity is exchanged for calculation and betrayal, only by abandoning emotional dependence and taking the initiative to control power can individuals The situation is broken in the survival crisis of the family and himself; at the same time, it also shows that there is no absolute "good and evil" in the palace arena: Liu Qin's cruelty stems from the coercion of the family and the lack of sense of security, while Yuan Qi's trade-offs hide the helplessness of the imperial power's checks and balances, and ultimately point to the core of reality that "under the squeeze of power, no one is a pure winner, and everyone bears the price in the choice."
