How does a once-abused mute girl rise step by step to become an empress who exemplifies virtue to the world? Shen Jinghua, the eldest legitimate daughter among the Shen family's nine daughters, was destined to become the crown princess. But when the crown prince is crippled in a horse-riding accident, she commits suicide. To protect its prestige, the Shen family poisons the ninth daughter, Shen Jinghong, rendering her mute, and forces her to marry in her sister's place. The brooding deposed crown prince, Xiao Xun, is banished to a derelict detached palace and sees Xiao Jiu as merely the Shen family's tool of humiliation. Yet as the days pass and they endure trials of life and death together, two souls cast out by the world find warmth in each other amidst coldness and conspiracies, gradually becoming the sole light in each other's lives.
