Shen Fuyao, the capital's number one female wastrel, is proficient in eating, drinking, and making merry, but knows nothing of zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting, yet was struck by an imperial decree to become the Crown Princess. The entire capital laughs at her for being rude and impolite, unworthy of the East Palace. But what they don't know is that Shen Fuyao didn't enter the palace to be bullied; she came to flip the table. When the Empress Dowager wants to teach her rules, she turns her hand to raise the imperial death-exempt medallion; when the Empress wants to watch a joke, she stirs up the situation on the spot; when noble ladies mock her as a good-for-nothing, she shatters all dignity with a single whip.
