Lady Zhang’s mother died at childbirth. Her father, who gained merit for assisting the Emperor ascend the throne, died when she was six. The Empress Dowager planned to adopt her as her daughter and sent her into the Forbidden City, but the Empress Dowager died before officially adopting her.
Hence, Zhang Surou ended up becoming a palace maid. She worked tirelessly until she became a Junior Palace Attendant serving the favored Consort Zheng.
After a brief exchange with the Emperor one day, Consort Zheng granted her permission to officially leave the palace.
Thus, after ten years, Lady Zhang returns to the bustling life outside the palace, to her natal family, and to the twists and turns of the prominent families in the capital.
