Sheng Qinghe, the legitimate daughter of the general, made a mistake and devoted all her family's efforts to help her husband Xiao Yan ascend the throne, but what she got in exchange was a fatal betrayal on the battlefield and the destruction of the family. On the verge of death, he was rescued by the mysterious Mo Li, an orphan from the previous dynasty. Five years of dormancy, poisoning, childishness, and deep-rooted hatred have tempered the "Mrs. Liyue" who is deeply scheming and extremely wealthy. She returned to the capital with her monstrous wealth and sophisticated intelligence network, and used the gold-selling cave "Liyue Fang" as her nest to stir up troubles.
The man who betrayed his heart in the past has become an emperor (Xiao Yan), and he criticizes his love rival for being a noble concubine (Li Huiru). Mo Li, the savior, is also an enemy and a friend, with hidden ambitions to restore the country. Mrs. Liyue worked around the situation and worked step by step: exposing the Li family's corruption, disintegrating the power of the imperial concubine, and infiltrating the court's intrigues. When the cold truth - that Xiao Yan was the real culprit of the genocide - was revealed, and when Mo Li sacrificed innocent people to restore the country, and even threatened the life of her sickly beloved son, Sheng Qinghe completely cut off all ties of love and fantasy.
The beacon smoke suddenly rose, and the three forces came to the city. On top of the city tower, there is Mo Li's life for kindness, and Xiao Yan's end of the road. Deep in the palace, there are blood letters confessing sins, and hundreds of officials turn against each other. From an abandoned son to a chess player, Sheng Qinghe returned from a bloody battle, killed his enemies with his own hands, and helped his youngest son ascend to the throne. Without her gorgeous clothes, she is the uncrowned queen of this thousands of miles of land, using her iron fist and wisdom to carve out her own royal path. The love, hatred, and resentment of the past have become a thing of the past, leaving only the firm gaze on the top of the palace wall, overlooking the mountains and rivers.
Purpose: Women awaken in desperate situations, use wisdom and tenacity to break the shackles, take control of their own destiny and power, and realize the reshaping of their self-worth and ideals of their family and country in the tempering of blood and fire.
