Using her intelligence and schemes, she aims to become the first empress in history, all to avenge her father, who was killed by the current emperor. She is the posthumous child of the King of Qin. Fate brings another woman, also disguised as a man and serving at court. Brilliant and resourceful, she carries a mission to overturn the established order and become an unparalleled figure in history, a female regent with greater power than the emperor.
