Yu Lianruo and Chu Jiuyin fought each other all their lives, only to realize in the end that they had been paving the way for someone else. On the day the emperor took full control of the government, he brought out an old palace maid, claiming she was his biological mother, and demanded that Yu Lianruo and Chu Jiuyin give up their positions as empresses dowager. Yu Lianruo wept, for she never expected the son she had raised was not only an imposter but also wanted her dead. Chu Jiuyin laughed, for she never imagined the emperor would resort to such a move, let alone that she would be poisoned to death with a cup of wine. Reborn in a new life, the two return to the days before the emperor ascended the throne. Casting aside the grievances of their past lives, they are determined to turn the Great Qian dynasty upside down. Want to be emperor? Dream on. They will change the imperial edict directly, and no amount of crying or pleading will change their minds.
