"Women can also assist in government, practice benevolence, and protect the people."
The noble concubine Liang Yao was born in a famous family. She originally wanted to establish herself as a benevolent person, accompany the emperor, practice the way of a gentleman, and assist the king. However, fifteen years ago, her father and brother failed to implement the Salt and Iron Reform and were demoted. The late empress, with whom she had a close friendship, was also convicted and imprisoned and passed away.
The powerful sit in temples, but the people are inevitably trapped in heavy financial burdens; although those who support the people win the hearts of the people, they often have to pay a price. If benevolence is not protected by power, it is just a sacrifice to the wolf.
The queen is thoughtful, Concubine Su is upright and strong, An Guiren is the new favorite, and Concubine Yu is the princess by marriage. The prince believed in Confucian benevolent government and was considerate of people's livelihood but was frail and sickly. The Marquis of Zhenbei was devoted to the country, but he adhered to the Legalist way of power. In the past, the battle for salt and iron has not yet ended, and the direction of the court has not yet been determined. How should the imperial concubine break the situation?
Who leaked the late Queen's advice back then? Who killed the late queen? Can father and brother be cleared of wrongdoing? Can the new policy of benefiting the people be implemented smoothly? What path will her biological second prince take? Can those who harm others get the retribution and punishment they deserve? She secretly investigated and peeled off the cocoons, only to discover that behind all of this there were hidden conspiracies and calculations one after another...
People's hearts are unpredictable, and the situation is overturned. She is not only a player in the chess game, but also the one who plays the chess game.
Intention: Humanity must be protected by power and strategy in order to achieve steady and long-term progress.
