在 Imperial Palace, the enchanting beauty of Princess Gong Gong (Li Xiao Peng portrayed) captivated Emperor Qian Long (Xu Wen Guang). She was fearless, unafraid of anything but one thing - the dreaded fleas. In her leisure hours away from the palace, Gong Gong befriended several peers of similar age.
As they grew older, Gong Gong fell in love with high official Jin Heng (Qian Feng portrayed). Unbeknownst to them, Jin Heng was actually her half-brother, born from Qian Long's clandestine affair. Blissfully unaware of their blood ties, they continued their tender romance.
Emperor Qian Long discovered the princess' affection for Jin Heng and, alarmed, planned to marry Gong Gong off to Yi De (Miao Hai Zhong portrayed), a son of Emperor Jiaqing, as his wife. To reveal the truth, he informed Gong Gong of her relationship with Jin Heng. Overwhelmed, Gong Gong leaped off a cliff with Jin Heng, hoping for an eternal union. However, their death wish was unfulfilled, and Gong Gong fell into madness. Jin Heng, on the other hand, lost his memory.
Rumors soon circulated in the palace that Yi De was Qian Long's illegitimate son......
