Lin Qingdai, a concubine who is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting in an ancient deep house but is always suppressed by her eldest sister, accidentally travels to the modern social animal of the same name. She is in a hurry when faced with "monsters" such as the 996 work system, takeout software, and scan-code payment. In order to keep her white-collar job during her probationary period, she used embroidery to repair suits and used etiquette to resolve customer conflicts. However, she also made a joke by writing PPT in parallel prose because of the old concept that "it is virtue for a woman to have no talent". Su Yin, her sharp-tongued boss, disliked her "retro style" and discovered her "misplaced wisdom". The two of them healed each other in a frenzy. In the end, Lin Qingdai found the survival balance of "ancient soul + modern body", and also understood the true meaning of life that "freedom is not about escaping from the rules, but living beautifully in your own way."
