Synopsis
Concubine Xu Yuetao wants to escape her family's control by failing the imperial selection, but due to misinformation from her fiancé Zhu Chengjin, she is selected. After entering the palace, she is repeatedly pursued by her legitimate wife Xu Yurong and the noble consort, even being forced to eat with the eunuchs. In desperation, Yue Tao receives help from the eunuch Jing Hong Zhui.
With her looks and intelligence reminiscent of the emperor's former flame, Yue Tao gradually gains favor and is promoted to noble consort. In the process, Yue Tao suffers a series of blows, such as realizing Cheng Jin's betrayal, her mother's murder, and her son's untimely death, becoming vengeful. She joins forces with Hong Zhui to overthrow the noble consort, depose the queen, and ultimately exact revenge on all her enemies.
Although Yue Tao ascends to the position of Empress Dowager, she also loses all her relatives and true love, leaving only Hong Zhui, who always remains by her side. As the two work together to reach the top, they are also tormented by loneliness, caught up in the intrigues of the palace.
