It tells the story of an ugly woman named Chung Vô Diệm who became the Queen of King of Qi in Warring States period of China.
Chung Vô Diệm then lifts the veil and upon which the King is so scared by her demonic appearance that he immediately goes back on his words.
Faced with death threat again, the King has to officially declare her his Queen and gives her the Palace of Chiêu Dương as her royal residence.
Chung Vô Diệm succeeds to drive out the residential demons and retrieves a lot of magical artifacts.
Initially apprehensive of Chung Vô Diệm, she grows increasingly resentful towards the newly instated queen, seeing her as the one who seized her rightful throne.
To eliminate the queen and pave the way for herself, she schemes, with implicit agreement from the King, to poison Chung Vô Diệm.
Accused of murdering Cao Kim Liên in the previous part, Chung Vô Diệm is confined to the Cold Palace as a punishment.
Hạ Nghinh Xuân tricks Trương Túy Vân into expressing her hatred for Chung Vô Diệm and later counsels her to poison the Queen - the same ruse used by Cao Kim Liên before.
As she leaves to receive the returning Queen, Hạ Nghinh Xuân goes into a monologue, revealing the whole sweet talk as her grand scheme: to remove Trương Túy Vân as a romantic rival since she knows the ruse can be easily discovered by Chung Vô Diệm and to get rid of Chung Vô Diệm as the King will not spare her life if she kills Trương Túy Vân.
Bửu Truyện co-starred two roles at the same time - as the ignorant father of Chung Vô Diệm and as the adviser Yến Anh in the latter three sections and as it can be seen, the two never appear onstage together.
