The Legitimate Mother Above, Green-Tea Courtesan, Step Aside
Princess An Ning, the emperor's elder sister, is bestowed in marriage as the second wife of the Duke of Zhenguo. As soon as she enters the household, she is provoked by a courtesan brought home by the heir. Pretending to be his favored concubine, the woman publicly frames An Ning, while the heir hurls insults at her and attempts to punish her. An Ning reveals her identities as the heir's legitimate mother and a princess, exposes the lies in front of everyone, and summons an imperial physician to examine the woman's injuries, proving that she has made false accusations. When the Duke of Zhenguo returns, he takes his son's side, but the princess stands her ground with reason. She subsequently puts an end to the harassment from the old matriarch and her maternal relatives. In the end, the emperor issues an imperial decree in her support, allowing the princess to secure her authority within the household. The Duke also confides in her about his secret private army, and the two reach an understanding to govern the household together.

Puteri An Ning, kakanda perempuan Maharaja, dikurniakan perkahwinan untuk menjadi isteri kedua Duke Zhenguo. Sebaik sahaja memasuki kediaman, dia dicabar oleh seorang wanita penghibur yang dibawa pulang oleh pewaris keluarga. Wanita itu berpura-pura menjadi gundik kesayangan lalu memfitnah An Ning di hadapan orang ramai, manakala pewaris keluarga turut menghamburkan kata-kata kesat dan mahu menghukumnya. An Ning mendedahkan kedudukannya sebagai ibu sah pewaris dan seorang puteri diraja, lalu membongkar pembohongan wanita itu di hadapan semua orang. Dia turut memanggil tabib diraja untuk memeriksa kecederaannya bagi membuktikan tuduhan palsu tersebut. Apabila Duke Zhenguo pulang, dia memihak kepada anak kandungnya, tetapi puteri itu tetap mempertahankan dirinya dengan hujah yang munasabah. Selepas itu, dia turut menyelesaikan gangguan daripada Nyonya Tua dan saudara-mara sebelah ibu. Akhirnya, Maharaja mengeluarkan titah untuk menyokongnya, membolehkan puteri itu mengukuhkan kedudukannya dalam keluarga. Duke Zhenguo juga mendedahkan rahsia tentang tentera peribadinya kepada An Ning, lalu mereka mencapai persefahaman untuk mentadbir kediaman bersama-sama.
