Emperor Gaojun ascends the throne by seizing power from the empress dowager who had his mother killed, resulting in him being disinherited. He approaches the Raven Consort Shouxue inquiring about the owner of a jade earring that apparently was dropped by a spirit, but she summarily dismisses him. He tries again and he persuades Shouxue who uses her mystical powers to reveal the spirit of a court lady who died from strangulation. Gaojun asks Shouxue to help free the spirit and she reluctantly agrees. Shouxue dresses as a palace attendant and leaves her quarters where she encounters the young attendant Jiujiu. She updates Shouxue about palace events and reveals that a consort, Ban Yingu, hanged herself after being accused of poisoning the Third Consort who was allegedly unfaithful. Meanwhile, Gaojun seeks evidence to prosecute the empress dowager for his mother's death.
