Gu Zhaotang, a poor scholar who studied hard for ten years, was wrongfully disqualified from the palace exam—framed by the prime minister's son who tampered with the results. Desperate, he heard that the favored Consort Rong was selecting "companions" and deliberately joined her as a "vase advisor" to seek revenge. But he soon discovered that Consort Rong, who seemed arrogant, was actually a pawn of the Empress Dowager—her companion selection was just a ruse to fool her enemies. From mutual exploitation to growing affection, Gu Zhaotang helped Consort Rong consolidate power and gather evidence against the prime minister, while struggling with his true feelings for her. For the first time, Consort Rong dared to resist her fate with his company. When the prime minister's crimes were about to be exposed, they faced double tests: the gap in their status and the court's turmoil. Could this love, born from calculation, survive in the midst of power struggles?
