The story of the film is set in a harem in the Joseon Dynasty, revolving around the battle to protect the power of Im Hwa Ryeong (Kim Hye so) to maintain his position so that the Great Army is not in danger. Tragedy strikes when her eldest son, Crown Prince Sae Cha (Beak In Hyuk), falls ill with blood damage (anemia and fainting) and dies suddenly. Since then, the Middle Palace discovers many terrifying secrets about the death of the previous Crown Prince Taein related to Dai Fei (Park Hae Sook) – who dislikes the Middle Palace and always tries to bring her down.
In order to protect the lives of the remaining 4 children, the Middle Palace must both maintain power and train 4 Grand Army that are considered "jaguar leopards" worthy of the vacant position of Crown Prince. Other concubines also did not pass up this opportunity easily to fight for their son's position as Crown Prince. Her battle was extremely difficult when she faced not only an evil Great Concubine but also ambitious concubines and factions in the imperial court.
