When Emperor Xiao Jingheng of the Daning Dynasty ascended the throne, the court was in chaos—powerful minister Gu Ding held sway over the government, and the Northern Prince secretly built up his army. Empress Shen Zhaozhao, who weighed over a hundred jin, was mocked by officials as the "Jin Queen," deemed unfit to rule the harem due to her size and supposed lack of wisdom. Little did they know, this "plump empress" who begged the imperial kitchen for braised pork every day was the closed-door disciple of the reclusive strategist "Thousand Machines Elder." She used street wisdom to help the emperor defuse Gu Ding's factional schemes, won over the Northern Prince's mother with homemade osmanthus cakes, and even set a "snake-charming trap" to make the Northern Prince expose his rebellion. Just as Xiao Jingheng shifted from "perfunctory" to "dependent" on her, Gu Ding uncovered her master-disciple relationship and accused her of "using strategy to disrupt the court." Caught between a precarious kingdom and an impending order to depose her, how will Shen Zhaozhao use her "weight" (both literal and metaphorical) to protect her husband's empire?
