Born into a family of martial arts practitioners in the modern era, she developed an interest in archaeology because of her father's passion for it, and her family's connections made her even more curious about ancient martial arts. After transmigrating, she became the daughter of the governor of Nanli City in the Great Lin Kingdom, and the lost jewel of the Tianqing Kingdom, switched at birth and raised far from home. When her father backed the wrong side at court, she learned things the current emperor's third son, Murong Xuan, should never have known. He tried to kill her, but her family narrowly escaped. Reduced to commoners, they lived in hiding in Little River Village. She often appeared in plain clothes, was an unabashed foodie, and was an excellent cook. She knew ancient martial arts, and later the male lead forcibly infused her with internal energy.
