An Ruo, a woman from the twenty-first century, wakes up one day to find she has transmigrated to the Kangxi era of the Qing dynasty. She has become Wanrong of the Uya clan, daughter of Weiwu, a senior guard commander. She is none other than the future concubine of the Kangxi Emperor and the birth mother of the Yongzheng Emperor.
An Ruo lets out a long sigh. What is she supposed to do? She doesn't want to enter the palace. She wants to go home.
Before she can find a way back, the annual selection begins, and she is unlucky enough to be chosen as a palace maid. Unwillingly taking on the name Wanrong of the Uya clan, she starts her life in the palace, never once forgetting that she wants to go home.
At last, she gets a chance to return, only for someone to ruin it. And the one who ruins it is none other than Aisin-Gioro Xuanye.
An Ruo is furious. That was her only chance to go back.
She gives up and decides to accept her fate! After all, Wanrong will end up on top in the end.
But she soon discovers that rising through the harem ranks is not as easy as she imagined.
