Su Yao, the daughter of a declining aristocrat of the Chu State, was well-read in poetry and had great ambitions. She was moved to Xianyang of the Qin State due to war. When she first entered Xianyang, she was almost knocked down by Meng Yi's cavalry, which left a deep impression on the general. Later, he heard that Lu Buwei was recruiting disciples to compile "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals". Su Yao successfully became a disciple by virtue of her profound insights and unique views on the theories of various schools of thought.
When undercurrents surged in the Qin court and Lao Ai and the Queen Mother attempted to usurp power, Meng Yi learned of the conspiracy and helped Ying Zheng put down the rebellion. Su Yao is paying attention to the changes in the situation in Lu Buwei's mansion, and is eager to enter the palace to display her ambitions. When the opportunity comes, Ying Zheng becomes interested in Su Yao because of her views in "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" and declares her to be a royal. Su Yao was appreciated for her outstanding insights and was appointed as the female historian to stay in the palace. She had more and more contact with Ying Zheng and developed a secret love.
However, Zhao assassins attacked, and Meng Yi was seriously injured trying to save Ying Zheng. Ying Zheng was determined to unify the world and set out to conquer Chu. Although Su Yao was reluctant to give up, she could only pray silently. In the end, Yingzheng pacified the Chu State, completed the great cause of unification and established the Qin Dynasty. Su Yao was canonized as a noble concubine. The two worked together to rule the world, and their love that had gone through hardships came to a happy ending.
