This is a tale of love in an ancient palace, woven with deep devotion, twists and turns, and a touch of fantasy. Shengsheng, a modern woman, unexpectedly transmigrates and becomes an empress, beginning an unforgettable romance with Emperor Qingcheng.
At first, the two are perfectly in tune. Qingcheng diligently governs the country, while Shengsheng carefully manages the imperial harem. Their days are peaceful and blissful, and they have a son. But fate is fickle: Shengsheng becomes pregnant again, only to be targeted by villains and suffer the loss of her child. Misunderstandings pile up between her and Qingcheng, and their love takes a painful turn. Fortunately, the truth eventually comes to light, and the couple reconcile, their bond stronger than ever. Shengsheng falls pregnant once more and gives birth to a little princess, allowing the family of four to enjoy a happy life together.
Yet beneath the calm, unrest is brewing. Rebels rise, and turmoil engulfs the palace. Qingcheng is gravely wounded while protecting Shengsheng, his life hanging by a thread, and Shengsheng resolves to share life and death with him. When she returns to the modern world, her heart is already dead, but fate has other plans: Qingcheng crosses through time to find her. Reunited, they hear the echoes of their old vows and begin their love anew in the modern world. They marry and have children, while the children from their former world seem to quietly “find their way back” as well. In the end, the whole family finds happiness, bringing this tale of love across time and death to a perfect conclusion.
