Elara Sterling, daughter of a merchant family, marries General Kaelan Pierce, but while pregnant with twins, she is betrayed by her husband and her best friend, Victoria Jennings. Deceived by lies, Kaelan chooses to save the accursed spawn of a stablehand in Victoria's womb, forcing the sacrifice of the elder twin in Elara's womb, who carries the blood of a true dragon. In her despair, the second son in her womb communicates with her through his innocent-sounding thoughts, exposing the conspiracy. Relying on the formidable power of her maternal Sterling Family and her child's guidance from the womb, she takes down the scoundrel and the villainess, exposes Matron Pierce's secret of murdering her husband to seize power, and divorces Kaelan Pierce. Ultimately, Elara proves that the Sterling Family is the rightful heir of the previous dynasty, and her second son is the Divine Heir. She quells the rebellions of vassal princes, reaches the pinnacle of power, becomes the Regent Princess, and later ascends the throne as Empress, founding the glorious Xia Dynasty. Meanwhile, villains like Kaelan Pierce and Victoria Jennings all meet a miserable end.
