After a freak accident, a burned-out executive wakes up as the lowest-ranking palace maid, determined to claw her way to the throne. During the imperial selection, she catches the strange emperor’s attention by answering his impossible riddle with a phrase only a fellow time traveler would know. He soon realizes she’s the woman from his past—the woman whose accident once caused his death. With corrupt ministers, a ruthless empress dowager, and jealous consorts closing in, the two enemies make a truce. Fighting side by side, their old grudge slowly turns into something neither expected.
