After her triumph over the Mongol rulers of southern China, Zhu Yuanzhang, known as the Radiant King, harbors a fierce ambition to claim the imperial throne. Yet, she faces competition from Madam Zhang, scheming to install her husband as emperor, and Wang Baoxiang, a vengeful scholar aiming to seize power through courtly manipulation. To secure her position, Zhu forms a risky alliance with the unstable general Ouyang, plunging all contenders into a perilous game of ambition and desire with potentially devastating consequences.
