To protect her family, Jiang Wanyan entered the palace to become a sleeping chamber female official. After being poisoned mute by Consort Shu, she simply pretended to be mute for five years, single-mindedly enduring until the age for leaving the palace to reunite with her sweetheart. Emperor Qi Yan seemingly treated her as a mute venting dummy for his anger, everywhere making things difficult and humiliating her, but in reality had long seen through her disguise, protecting her safety behind the scenes for five years. On the day of leaving the palace, news arrived that her sweetheart was delayed by bandits, and Qi Yan also laid bare all the truth. The two resolved years of knots in their hearts, and Jiang Wanyan ultimately chose to remain in the palace, staying together with this awkward sovereign.
