Princess Yu Zhimei of Zhaoping County is the niece of the Emperor of Chongqing. She was raised by her aunt and empress since she was a child. She is in love with Princess Yueyang, who is more than ten years older than her.
When Yu Zhimei was seven years old, she met Jin Ruoyun, a close disciple of the genius doctor Lu Zhang and Sanlang of the Jin family.
When Yu Zhimei was twelve years old, she fell in love with Jin Ruoyun and made a marriage contract.
When Yu Zhimei was fourteen years old, Li Shi, the favorite concubine of the Emperor of Chongqing, presented a dancing girl in front of the emperor. The assassination attempt by the dancing girl failed, and Concubine Li was also executed for treason. After the assassination, the emperor's second son, Prince Qing, was deposed as a commoner, and Prince Qing acted as the guest of the Jin family. Dalang and Erlang were successively executed by the Queen's decree. The more than ten-year battle for the right to inherit the throne came to an end with the victory of the eldest son of the middle palace. Jin Ruoyun was in great pain after losing two close relatives. He resisted the imperial decree and refused to marry, and took his sister away to a foreign country.
Yu Zhimei was seventeen years old. Less than three years after he entered the East Palace, the crown prince died suddenly and for no reason. Apart from Prince Qing, the emperor had only one daughter, Princess Yueyang. Just when the ambitious princess was aiming for the throne of the crown princess, the emperor issued a special decree to restore the title of Prince Qing. Suddenly, the battle for the right to inherit the throne, which had been dormant for three years, came back again.
In the same year, the king of Dongdu, who held a heavy army, fell ill. Before his death, he returned the tiger talisman to the emperor and exchanged 100,000 Dongdu troops for his son Wei Anlin in exchange for wealth and peace.
A few months later, the queen fell ill for no reason, and the imperial doctors in the palace were helpless. The palace was in danger. Yu Zhimei was ordered by the emperor and entrusted by Princess Yueyang to go to Xi'er Mountain thousands of miles away to find Jin Ruoyun, trying to ask him to come out and save the queen's life.
Soon, Jin Ruoyun, Yu Zhimei, and the newly crowned King of the Eastern Capital, Wei Anlin, met in an inn by chance, and because of a civilian murder case, they were involved in endless disputes and conflicts...
