Six years ago, deep within the imperial palace, a fierce struggle for the Emperor's favor sent shockwaves through the court. The bitter rivalry between the Noble Consort and the Empress led to the unjust execution of numerous innocent embroiderers. Mu Jin Xiu—sister to one of the slain embroiderers—saw through the ruthless and inhumane nature of the nobility's rules, which treated human life as utterly expendable. She resolved not only to avenge her sister but also to shatter these oppressive norms and safeguard the livelihoods of the common people.

Started off great but then became flat with common plot, bland acting and lack of chemistry
I was preparing a reddit post about vertical drama actresses aged 35 and above and came across Shu Chang. I decided to watch this drama because it stars Ma Qian Huan & Han Jia Hui too. I am familiar with revenge historical drama with concubine setting and this offered nothing new.What I liked:
1. Han Jia Hui - It was great to see her playing a villain even though it was a supporting role. Even though food poisoning scene supposed to be a serious scene, HJH made it funny.
2. Opening scene - A great scene that establish the villain & FL's vengeance arc.
3. Styling - Loved the outfits worn by the cast.
4. Supporting characters - I liked Yao Yao & the Eunuch.
5. Revenge - I liked that FL's plan to bring down the villain included punishing her accomplices and manipulating ML.
What I disliked:
1. Acting - Shu Chang was the main reason I watched this drama but her performance here was flat. She didn't convey much expressions. There was also no chemistry between her and Ma Qian Huan.
2. Romance - Due to the lack of chemistry, I didn't buy the attraction between FL & ML.
3. Antagonists - Han Jia Hui's character was evil as she killed innocent people. Gu Shi Xian was horrible too.
