Commoner Miss Lin was summoned by the Empress Dowager after successfully persuading the ascetic emperor to eat. The Empress Dowager greatly praised Miss Lin's ability and beauty, then assigned her a dangerous mission: to make the emperor truly 'break his vows' within seven days, luring her with high office and rich rewards, and threatening her with death. Miss Lin was forced to accept this life-or-death challenge. Meanwhile, the emperor, who had been practicing asceticism alone, was restless due to Miss Lin's appearance, trying to recite scriptures to suppress his inner desires, indicating that his ascetic resolve had already wavered.
