Zoe's mother was murdered by the noble Consort Li, and in order to seek justice for her mother, she entered the palace as a maid five years later. Over these five years, Zoe formed an alliance with the families of other victims who were innocently harmed by the consort, and together they orchestrated a plan to gradually reveal the consort's crimes. The long-standing grievances were finally avenged, and Zoe became the empress. Under her governance, the harem was disciplined and fair, and with her assistance, the people of the Yan Dynasty also lived in peace and prosperity.
