In the sixth year of the Qianlong reign, a young girl, Wei Luo, seeks the truth about her eldest sister's death and enters the Forbidden City as a palace maid. After an investigation, Luo confirms that her sister's death is related to the ridiculous Prince Hong Di, and is determined to seek justice. The Queen of Fuchsia, who is skilled in the art of rituals and law, is worried that Luo is going astray and tries her best to give her warmth and help.

Under the Empress's careful guidance, Luo grew up to be an honest and strong court lady, and put aside her grudges to lead a serious life. After the Empress' unfortunate death, Luo's misunderstandings towards Qianlong were so severe that the two of them went from being hostile to each other to eventually understanding and supporting each other.

Drama Rating:

The characters in this drama are wearing ancient costumes, but it seems as if they are performing a modern story. The heroine Wei Luo's step-by-step journey from a tiny embroidery workshop courtesan to the emperor's beloved favorite concubine may be supported by certain historical facts and understandable artistic creation.

However, the way Wei Luo got along with the emperor completely subverted common sense. The so-called "cool text" carefully woven by the drama, with the subversion of common sense as a selling point, and with the impossible conflict as the plot line, it is difficult for people to agree.

The drama breaks away from the usual persona of the heroine, who is articulate and adaptable, defying authority while sticking to her personal pursuits. The drama is filled with Yu Zheng's keen sense of the market. Modern urban women are able to find a mapping of themselves in the drama, which portrays a new female personality that is more vital and adaptable to the needs of modern society.
