A Concubine's Daughter Knocks on the Door: Three Coins in Exchange for a Lifetime of Glory
Shen Yuan, the illegitimate daughter of the Shen family, endured abuse from her stepmother and legitimate elder sister from childhood. They burned her back with red-hot iron tongs and nearly drowned her. With only three coins to her name, she went to the Eastern Palace seeking the Crown Prince's protection and was taken in as a retainer. Following a trail of clues to Liangzhou, she found her mother's former servant and her grandfather's former soldiers, as well as irrefutable evidence in the military pay corruption case from years ago. She uncovered the truth that her biological father, Shen Zheng, and Su Wen had conspired to frame loyal and righteous men. Despite obstruction from numerous factions at court, she joined forces with the Crown Prince to gather witnesses and evidence. Together, they overturned the wrongful verdict publicly before the imperial court, cleared her grandfather's name, and ultimately she was crowned Empress.

Shen Yuan, anak gahara keluarga Shen, sejak kecil dianiaya oleh ibu tirinya dan kakak perempuan daripada isteri utama ayahnya. Belakangnya pernah dilecurkan dengan penyepit besi yang membara, malah dia hampir mati lemas akibat ditenggelamkan. Dengan hanya tiga keping wang syiling, dia pergi ke Istana Timur untuk memohon perlindungan Putera Mahkota lalu diterima sebagai pengikutnya. Berpandukan petunjuk yang ditemui, dia menuju ke Liangzhou dan menemui bekas pelayan ibunya serta bekas orang bawahan datuknya. Dia turut menemukan bukti kukuh dalam kes penyelewengan gaji tentera pada masa lalu. Dia membongkar kebenaran bahawa bapa kandungnya, Shen Zheng, dan Su Wen telah berpakat untuk memfitnah para pegawai yang setia. Walaupun dihalang oleh pelbagai puak di istana, dia berganding bahu dengan Putera Mahkota untuk mengumpulkan saksi dan bukti. Akhirnya, mereka membatalkan keputusan yang tidak adil secara terbuka di istana, membersihkan nama datuknya, dan dia akhirnya dianugerahkan gelaran Permaisuri.
