Liu Feiyao, a modern-day PhD and businesswoman, transmigrates into the eldest legitimate daughter of the richest family in the land, the Liu household. To further the family’s interests, they marry her off to Meng Simin, the only son of the Minister of War. Before long, however, the brutal Crown Prince massacres both the Meng and Liu families to seize military power and take the Liu family’s wealth. Fortunately, Meng Simin and the four Liu siblings survive!
Liu Feiyao and Meng Simin flee to Chu. For the sake of the people, they help the King of Chu claim the throne. Liu Feiyao, in particular, creates a host of modern inventions that transform society in many ways.
Meanwhile, the Liu family’s second daughter, Liu Feixue, lies low at the Crown Prince’s side, biding her time;
the third daughter, Liu Feiyan, becomes the leader of the Golden Swallow Sect and stirs up turmoil across the land in pursuit of revenge; and the Liu family’s only son, Liu Feiming, enters the palace to seek vengeance and becomes one of the Emperor’s most trusted men.
At last, when the Chu army storms the palace, the four siblings reunite, but the ending takes an unexpected turn! A truly heartbreaking tale!
