The new emperor, Qi Nian, had acceded to the throne for many years, but continually kept using the excuse that "the affairs of state are important, and I am engrossed in my work" to refuse the requests by his officials to choose a consort. But as the rumor that "the emperor is incapable" spread more intensely, Qi Nian finally relented after much pestering. Yu Dingdang was born in a prestigious family, but was also particularly dim-witted, leading many to say: "The young lady of the Yu family swapped her brain for her looks." Who could have expected that once she was selected, Yu became the empress.

On the surface, Yu Dingdang said: "Huh? What? It's me"? On the inside, however, her thoughts were a surging mess. That's because Yu Dingdang had made a vow when she was young that'd she'd. definitely. become. Qi. Nian's. woman! Having succeeded in her quest, a happy story between tears and joy of "she-runs-she-chases" begins in the palace. She couldn't have expected that this lofty emperor up on high is actually a girl?!
