It tells the story of Jiang Yi, a modern man who traveled to ancient times, and the story of the conflict, understanding, and deep love between Jiang Yi, an ancient man, and Ye Ling, an ancient man. Jiang Yi has a free and unrestrained personality and acts casually, while Ye Ling is a stern young master from an ancient family, serious and self-disciplined. The two had completely different personalities. They disliked each other when they first met and often quarreled and even fought. However, fate closely linked them - Ye Ling's family was involved in a political conspiracy, and Jiang Yi, with his modern knowledge and wisdom, became the only person who could help Ye Ling.
In the process of facing the crisis together, the two gradually broke down each other's prejudices and began to understand each other's difficulties. Jiang Yi's open-mindedness and bravery allowed Ye Ling to see a different world, while Ye Ling's depth and responsibility also made Jiang Yi look at him with admiration. However, when Ye Ling's family crisis was resolved, the relationship between the two reached a deadlock again due to differences in identity and personality.
