After Lin Daiyu weeps herself to death in the Jia household, her soul unexpectedly enters the body of a daughter of the prominent Lin clan in Jiangdong at the end of the Eastern Han dynasty. As warlords rise across the land, she relies on her innate "Music and Art System," wielding melodies as blades and painting and calligraphy as strategy. Amid a treacherous contest of wits, she not only finds a way to protect herself but becomes an indispensable strategist and spiritual symbol of Jiangdong as Sun Ce and Zhou Yu rise to power. She and Zhou Yu progress from testing each other's talents to standing by each other through life and death, facing the desperate crisis of Cao Cao's army bearing down on them. At the Battle of Red Cliffs, Lin Daiyu uses the Art System to lay out a grand musical formation, changing the fate of a hero destined to die young. In the end, she preserves her dignity and pure love amid the chaos of war.
