What if a woman enters the palace not to win favor, but to be a spy? The Queen Mother asked her to keep an eye on the Emperor, and the Emperor asked her to spy on the Queen Mother. She was caught in the middle, and if she was not careful, it would be a dead end.
When she entered the palace, she was just an inconspicuous little concubine. The Queen Mother wanted to use her to spy on the Emperor, the Emperor wanted to use her to spy on the Queen Mother, and the Regent used her as a pawn to insert into the harem. And her father, who appeared to be neutral in the court, had already secretly taken sides.
Everyone was using her, everyone didn't believe her, everyone felt that she should be an obedient chess piece.
But she doesn't! She looks gentle and docile, knows etiquette and obeys the rules, like the most harmless lady from aristocratic family. But she knew better than anyone else - this harem was never a place for women to compete for power, but another court. She had to survive in the cracks between the Queen Mother, the Emperor and the Regent. She must stand firm step by step amid the oppression of the middle palace, the strife between old concubines, the birth of a beloved concubine, the struggle for heirs, and the undercurrent of the past. She didn't want to fall in love with the emperor, but she fell in love with him when she shouldn't have. She was not the person the emperor loved most, but she was the person he could not live without until the end.
In her life, she first served as the Empress Dowager's eye, then as the Emperor's chess player, and later on, she became the mother of the new emperor and the Queen Mother in the world. But when she won in the end, she realized that reaching the top would not be easy, it would only become colder.
