The Profession of Concubines

Plot Synopsis

Emperor Suijing was assassinated and disfigured. He disguised himself as a guard and sneaked into the imperial harem to investigate the truth, becoming the personal attendant of Concubine Li, Jiang Zhao. At first, he heard that Concubine Li was arrogant and illiterate. But after getting along with her, he found that she was both brave and intelligent. In the imperial harem, Concubine Li was repeatedly framed by the Empress and Concubine De. She was even forced to drink an abortion-inducing medicine. Fortunately, with the help of her loyal servants, she narrowly escaped danger. At the critical moment, Concubine Li and Emperor Suijing joined hands to expose the conspiracy of Concubine De and the fake emperor. Emperor Suijing regained his identity, purged the imperial harem, and deposed the Empress and Concubine De. With her loyalty and wisdom, Concubine Li won the trust and deep affection of Emperor Suijing and became the real winner in the imperial harem.
