The capital is thrown into chaos, and the ruler of the realm is overthrown. The down-and-out young marquis fights his way back to the capital to save the emperor, only to discover that his beautiful wife has already ascended the throne! It all seems like a dream.
Who would have thought that a village widow selling tofu could achieve such greatness?
But we have to start at the beginning.
Yinshuang, a girl from a fallen family of scholars, is chosen as a bride for a viscount's household in the capital because of her beauty.
The night before the wedding, her husband dies suddenly, leaving her a widow. With no other choice, Yinshuang hides her beauty and makes a living selling tofu at the mouth of an alley with her elderly mother.
Qin Yu, the young master of a marquis's household, returns from the frontier and hides his sharp edge behind the guise of a playboy. He insists on flirting with the striking beauty selling tofu.
As they spend more time together, the two become allies. Yinshuang teaches Qin Yu to act like a spoiled wastrel, while Qin Yu helps Yinshuang escape the viscount's household's control.
The husband and wife make mischief together. They stir up trouble at brothels, beat up the chancellor, infuriate the consorts, and wreak havoc at banquets, setting the whole city abuzz. They marry first and fall in love later, gradually developing feelings for each other.
The new emperor is far too calculating and discards them once they have served their purpose. The marquis's household falls overnight, and its members are reduced to commoners.
The old marquis makes meat pies, and the young marquis grinds tofu. The harmonious couple work hard to support their family.
Who could have guessed that the court would be thrown into turmoil and the ruler's intentions prove impossible to read, tearing the couple apart?
Yinshuang struggles to survive in the cracks, using her wits and skills to navigate among the capital's many factions.
Step by step, she plots and maneuvers until she gradually takes control of every power in the capital.
Three years later, the realm is transformed. Qin Yu leads an army back to the capital, only to discover that his wife has fought her way through the court and taken the dragon throne!
A woman on the throne, with all the ministers opposed. Should she ignore the people and the realm and fight to the bitter end, or give up her high position to preserve peace and prosperity?
Yinshuang faces a difficult choice.
The beauty rises to power, and the general is doomed!
Theme: What if women can't hold office? Even outside the court, they can still rise to the top.
Very good, come on, madam!
