This is a story that set during the mid-Joseon dynasty periods about the life of Royal Noble Consort 'Huibin' Jang, Queen Inhyeon, King Sukjong.
Jang, a young lady-in-waiting who catches the eye of the King with her beauty and becomes his favoured concubine. Quickly getting promoted and eventually giving birth to a son, her hunger for power drives her not only to maintain her position, but also in becoming queen, even if that means deposing the king's legal wife.
