The story begins with a flashback of Queen Yun, a powerful and intelligent queen who ruled the Joseon dynasty with wisdom and justness. She was well-respected by her people and nobles alike, but her rise to power was not without controversy. Queen Yun's ascension to the throne was facilitated by the demise of her predecessor, King Injong, a weak and ineffective ruler. The circumstances surrounding King Injong's death remain shrouded in mystery, leaving many to question Queen Yun's involvement. As Queen Yun ascends to the throne, she faces opposition from the powerful regent, Lee Soo, who had previously controlled King Injong. Lee Soo, with the backing of his faction, conspires against Queen Yun, spreading rumors and half-truths to undermine her authority. Queen Yun, aware of the growing opposition, relies on the loyalty of her trusted advisor, a wise and astute noble named Cho, to navigate the treacherous waters of royal politics. However, the noose of intrigue closes in around Queen Yun as the opposition gains momentum. The once-loyal nobles and officials begin to turn against her, fueled by Lee Soo's whispered lies and deceit.
