Fei Ying is an orphan living as a guest in the Duke's household.
She puts up with everything there, smiles at everyone, and gets by in a life that's neither good nor bad.
But only when someone from the palace arrives with an imperial edict does Fei Ying learn that her uncle, the Duke, has sent her into the palace to become a consort to the new emperor, rumored to be ruthless.
On her first day in the palace, Fei Ying washes Consort Shu's clothes and copies scriptures in the bitter wind.
On her fifth day, Consort Shu punishes her by making her kneel in the snow for two hours.
On her tenth day, she's falsely accused of poisoning Consort Shu, and the emperor orders her sent to the Imperial City Bureau.
Fei Ying: Your Majesty, give me seven days, and I will find the culprit who tried to harm Consort Shu.
The emperor says coldly: One day. If you cannot find the culprit by tomorrow, the Imperial City Bureau will come for you.
Xie Fei Ying: ? I've had enough. Time to make a serious move.
