Born into the demon world, ShenLi (Zhao Li Ying) grew in power, her skill on the battlefield eventually earning her the title of General Bi Cang. Pressured into a political marriage against her will, the general chose to fight for her freedom rather than accept the match. Sustaining injuries, ShenLi reverts to her original form and falls into the human world as a phoenix where she is picked up by a mortal vendor and sold as a plucked chicken at a local human market to Xing Zhi (Lin Geng Xin).

A ruthless warrior who single-handedly brought an end to the god and demon wars millennia ago, Xing Zhi finds himself unable to pass by the plucked demon chicken he sees caged at the human market. With that single purchase, Xing Zhi inadvertently links his fate with that of ShenLi. What will become of the demon and the warrior who rescues her?

Liu Jin Feng (Jackie Li) has lived a rough life. She and her mother were abandoned by her father and she grew up in a small side alley in a busy city. She is streetwise, full of common sense, and tough, but lacks etiquette and is somewhat overweight. As such, she is the very antithesis of what most people at court would consider to be a good queen.

But a quirk of fate leads Liu Jin Feng to the Imperial palace, where she is instructed to marry the cold and distant King, Duan Yun Zhang (Li Hong Yi). Having not been brought up in the court, she has no idea about how to conduct herself around nobility. Her relatively uncouth manners and unconventional appearance doesn’t win her many friends among the women of the court. And her grand ambitions of reforming the palace also alienate many of the scheming men at court, who want to try to rule the country by stealth. But Liu Jin Feng is determined to make the marriage work – even if it means she must do her utmost to win the heart of her new husband!

👑Wise Queens Team👑

As China becomes a major commercial economy, the silk, embroidering, and weaving trade is booming – and a few influential families have risen to the top. The industry’s powerhouse is the Gusu District in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province. And arguably the greatest weaving dynasty of them all is the Ren family, which carefully guards the secrets of its weaving prowess. Chinese traditional culture dictates that males are the dominant force in society. As such, the head of the family is nominally Ren Xue Tang (Xu Hai Qiao), a gentle-hearted soul with a love for poetry and philosophy – and no head for business. His wife of some 10 years Shen Cui Xi (Jiang Qin Qin) is the polar opposite. Fiery, opinionated, and fiercely competitive, she keeps the family business firmly on track, with her peerless embroidery skills.

But when he tries to close the net on a ring of smugglers, Ren Xue Tang gets into trouble and encounters Zeng Bao Qin (Yang Rong), formerly the love of his life. Following the accident, Zeng Bao Qin finds herself in the Ren family home and face to face with Shen Cui Xi, her bitterest love rival. But hard times are ahead for the family as enemies circle, and it seems that only a partnership between these two women will help them avoid a painful fall from grace. Can they put their rivalry aside to cooperate – or will jealousy and love stand in their way?

The daughter of a local merchant, Fu Rou never imagined she would be one to inspire greatness in anyone, but when she meets Sheng Chu Mu for the first time, that’s exactly what happens. Instantly enamored by the far superior Fu Rou, Chu Mu is suddenly aware of his own shortcomings and vows to make himself worthy of Fu Rou’s love. Dedicating himself to his studies, Chu Mu grows in knowledge and maturity, hoping that someday he will be worthy enough to ask for Fu Rou’s hand in marriage. As time passes, he finds himself following in his father’s footsteps, volunteering to selflessly serve the country by defending the coast against a band of marauding pirates.

While Chu Mu’s journey towards greatness sets him down one path, Fu Rou sets out on another.
