The story takes place in the Qing Dynasty. Another batch of new beauties were recommended from local areas to the capital to participate in the election, including Hou Jiayuying (played by Miriam Yeung), the daughter of the governor of Hubei and Hunan, and Er Chun (played by Cecilia Cheung), who came from the Three banners, among other daughters of prominent families. Unexpectedly, the official vehicle transporting these beauties was robbed by bandits on the way, and all the officers and soldiers were killed by the bandits. It seemed that these beauties were about to fall into the hands of the bandits. At this time, Kong Wu (played by Chen Hao) and Chen Shuang, who were transporting the tribute, Xiangmang, to the capital, passed by and rescued the scholar. Subsequently, after enduring numerous hardships and evading the pursuit, they finally safely escorted Xiu Nu to the capital. Hou Jia, Yu Ying and Er Chun became a golden couple while on the run. In fact, they each had their own plans behind the scenes. Er Chun and her two sisters regarded Yu Ying as their greatest enemy and did everything possible to push her out, making her suffer a lot. Yuying, on the surface, appears to be at the bottom, pitiful and charming, but in fact, she has a clear mind and her own tricks up her sleeve. The two tried to win the emperor's favor, while Er Chun also did his best to hide the secrets behind him in the conflict. Unexpectedly, the appearance of the imperial physician Sun Baiyang (played by Lam Bo Yee) made both Yu Ying and Er Chun's plans go wild, and the power struggle in the harem became even more perilous.[Collapse]
