Luo Qingchuan (Yang Mi) is a modern-day actress. One day she decided to try a romantic role which she has never done before so she scouted around and found a director who intended to direct and produce a romance drama set in the Qing Dynasty, during the reign of Emperor YongZheng.
The rest of the drama is focused on her character becoming embroiled in the princes' struggle for the throne and is torn between her love for Yin Si (Feng Shaofeng), the eighth prince, and Yin Zhen (Mickey He), the fourth prince and future Emperor Yongzheng. She is also betrayed by her friend Tong Suyan (Tong Liya). Caught in the crossfire of political intrigue, her wit and compassion serve her well in her bid to stay alive.
