Lin Wanzhao, a concubine’s daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, enters the palace in place of her legitimate sister and becomes a minor consort even palace maids dare to bully. She seems gentle and easy to manipulate, but secretly has a photographic memory and sharp judgment of court affairs—three years ago, the young emperor on a private visit saved her from an assassination, yet now the emperor treats her as a substitute for his “late beloved” and is icy cold. When the empress frames her for “murdering the royal heir” to kill her, and her legitimate sister forces her to commit suicide to “preserve the family’s reputation,” Lin Wanzhao finally drops her weak facade: she uses a half jade pendant from that year to expose the substitute misunderstanding, uses secretly collected account books to uncover the empress’s faction’s embezzlement plot, and even offers a strategy to resolve the border crisis when enemies invade. From a “soft persimmon” stepped on by others to a “wise helper” who stabilizes the country with the emperor, on her journey of rising step by step, the once cold-hearted emperor has already fallen in love quietly—and what she wants is never the empress position, but a true heart that can stand with her to overlook the mountains and rivers.
