In 1627, Emperor Chong Zhen took over the leadership of the Ming dynasty following his brother Emperor Tian Qi, with assistance from Wang Cheng En, a eunuch. Despite his best efforts, Emperor Chong Zhen struggled to revive his declining empire due to widespread corruption inherited from his predecessors and a rebellion led by Li Zi Cheng. Meanwhile, Huangtaiji, the ambitious ruler of the Qing dynasty, was preparing to invade the Ming Empire from the north. Emperor Chong Zhen appointed Yuan Chong Huan and Hong Cheng Chou as military commanders to counter the threat, but their outcomes differed - Yuan was falsely accused of plotting against the emperor and executed, while Hong surrendered to the Manchus after a defeat at the Battle of Songjin and later aided them in fighting against the Southern Ming dynasty. In 1644, Li Zi Cheng's rebels seized Beijing, leading Emperor Chong Zhen to take his own life. Shortly after, Wu San Gui, a Ming general, defected to the Qing dynasty, allowing them to conquer the rest of China. Wu's betrayal was driven by the loss of his concubine, Chen Yuan Yuan, who was taken by a rebel general after the fall of Beijing. Wu joined forces with the Qing against the rebels in retaliation.

A prophecy proclaiming, "The Dugu World: Whoever possesses Dugu, possesses the world," echoes throughout the land, suggesting that the Dugu family was meant for greatness. This prophecy brings focus to Dugu Xin, a court official, and his three daughters - Dugu Ban Ruo, Dugu Man Tuo, and Dugu Jia Luo. Each sister is gifted with beauty and intelligence from birth, and they make a pact to protect each other from the prophecy's potential harm. Despite their unity, Dugu Ban Ruo is driven by ambition to claim the empress' title, while Dugu Man Tuo seeks wealth and status even if it means resorting to violence. On the other hand, Dugu Jia Luo, the youngest sister, remains oblivious to the power struggle between her siblings and simply seeks happiness. However, as fate would have it, a romantic interest will draw Jia Luo into a world where only one Dugu sister can emerge victorious.
