During the reign of Renzong in the Northern Song Dynasty, in Bianliang, Tokyo, "there were many tiled houses and hooks and railings, the city was lined with jewels, and the houses were full of beautiful flowers." The literati "used their words to make friends and discussed the Tao over tea", and the common people in the market "all the traders and soldiers could sing Liu Ci". The heroine travels to "Qinglefang" in Bianliang City (a non-traditional romantic place, but actually a teahouse and wine shop where literati gather), and possesses the daughter of the late shopkeeper. She stirs up the literati circle with her modern poetry reserve and life aesthetics (improved tea ordering, design of cultural and creative fan); the male protagonist is a new scholar and an editor at the Hanlin Academy. On the surface, he is a gentleman, but in fact he has a hidden ambition to "reform and strengthen himself". The story combines the rhythm of Song poetry, the tea ordering of the Song Dynasty, and the culture of vases. In the interweaving of "old and new party struggles" and "fireworks in the market", a love song across time and space is composed, where "word cards serve as writing paper, and romance serves as matchmaker."
