Empress Xiaojingxian, of the Ulanara clan, was the daughter of Feiyanggu, a commander of the Imperial Guard and a grand minister who was posthumously named Duke Cheng'en. In countless time-traveling Qing dynasty novels, she is portrayed as virtuous, clever, modest, and respectful, a woman seemingly born with the bearing of an empress. Yet her life was undeniably tragic, and she was a loser in the battles of the imperial harem. Her only son died young. First, in the prince's residence, Side Consort Li gave birth to one child after another. Later, after Yongzheng ascended the throne, there was the deeply beloved Imperial Noble Consort Dunsu. In the end, the son of Consort Xi, Niohuru, Hongli, became emperor.
After her death, her clan's fortunes grew bleak. In the Qianlong era, her niece from the same clan, the Empress Ulanara, was deposed and died. The Ulanara clan, once one of the most prominent of the Eight Great Manchu Surnames, gradually withdrew from the political heart of the Qing dynasty, until it vanished completely. Of all the families of Qing empresses, only the family of Empress Xiaojingxian disappeared from court thereafter, leaving no trace of their descendants or deeds.
But what path will things take when this empress, whose clan met such a miserable fate after her death, is reborn from the modern era with her memories in the very time that once made her life a tragedy? And when, in this same era, Li Ruowei arrives from the future, determined to save Yongzheng, become the only love in his heart, and put her own son on the throne, which of them will become the truly most exalted woman in the harem beneath its flowers and bones? Who will be the one to laugh last?
