During the Jinghua period of the Great Yan Dynasty, Xu Xirong, the legitimate daughter of Wencheng County in the south of the Yangtze River, studied music in Qingle Society since she was a child. She was well versed in the way of survival of "self-preservation and self-sufficiency." Due to the conflict in the teahouse, she cleverly counterattacked the son of the evil gentry. Later, she took advantage of her father's entry into the officialdom and went to Beijing to run for election together with Lan Yuyan, the daughter of the Tongfan Mansion, and Li Yuhuan, the daughter of a merchant.
During the palace selection process, Xi Rong used oleander, morning beauty, and day lilies as metaphors for people, and won the favor of the queen with her clear insights. Although she was of low rank at the beginning, she successfully entered the palace. In the deep palace, the three people gathered together to survive, and Lan Yuyan revealed the power network of the harem for the two - the power dispute between the Lou sisters, the suspicion of Concubine Mei's son's death, and the hidden dangers of survival, all showing the turbulent undercurrents within the Sixth Palace.
When the Fengyi Palace came together to pay their respects, the newly promoted concubines were reshuffled. The Rong nobles were punished for dressing inappropriately. Concubine Jing's meanness caused farce. Concubine Mei even went crazy and was eventually grounded by the queen on the grounds of "Changsun's panic disorder". From then on, in the deep palace with strict rules and unpredictable people, Xu Xirong upheld his character and resourcefulness, played step by step in the power chess game, and embarked on a road of survival full of thorns but unwilling to give in.
