The heroine, Lin Wanqing, is a graduate student in modern history. After accidentally touching an ancient jade pendant engraved with the words “Mandate of Heaven” in a library, she transmigrates to the tenth year of the Later Jin's Tianming era (1625). Her soul inhabits the body of Suwan Gualjia Ruoxue, a daughter of a fallen noble family from the Yehe tribe. Because she resembles one of Huang Taiji's late secondary consorts, Grand Consort Abahai chooses her to enter the Beile's residence, drawing her into a whirlpool of power and emotion.
