At the celebration banquet, Jiang Yunshu, the legitimate daughter of the prime minister, was publicly dumped by her fiancé, Ji Changyuan, who was infatuated with Ying Zhaoning, the legitimate daughter of the Ying family, and used his military achievements as a bargaining chip to beg the Empress Dowager to bestow a marriage. Facing the mocking crowd, Jiang Yunshu calmly proposed three conditions for breaking the engagement, systematically demanding the Jiang family's property and justice. Recognizing her resourcefulness, the Empress Dowager issued an imperial decree on the spot appointing her as Empress. Step by step, Jiang Yunshu uncovered the conspiracy of Ji Changyuan hoarding secret military warehouse armaments and the Ying family plotting for military power, crushed the assassination crisis, thoroughly investigated the criminal evidence at the grand investiture ceremony, and brought a crowd of conspirators to justice. Shedding the shackles of emotional heartbreak, Jiang Yunshu took charge of the inner palace, living out her own empress elegance with wisdom and backbone.
