Song Wanqiu was born with a love of food and a plump figure. As a child, she formed a bond with the prince Xiao Lin. During the imperial consort selection, her older sister deliberately encouraged her to eat excessively, hoping she would be rejected. Instead, she unexpectedly awakened the appetite of Emperor Xiao Lin, who suffered from anorexia, and was selected to enter the palace. Concealing his identity and posing as a palace attendant, Xiao Lin visits Changle Hall every day to share her meals. As they spend more time together, they gradually fall in love. Wanqiu befriends three consorts who are unhappy with their circumstances and repeatedly faces difficulties imposed by the Empress Dowager. After Eunuch Wen's rebellion is put down, Wanqiu refuses to become empress and be confined to the imperial palace. Xiao Lin abdicates in favor of Prince Jing and travels to Qingzhou, where the two live peacefully together in the countryside, cooking, raising children, and enjoying a quiet life.
