During the outbreak of the Black Death in Europe in the Middle Ages, in order to protect her young son Luca, the widowed peasant woman Eleanor was forced to grow from a good wife who only knew how to sew and wash to a survival master who was proficient in disinfection, improved textile machines, and outsmarted the evil landlord. She disguised herself as a male apprentice and sneaked into the dyeing workshop to steal her skills, and used homemade herbal bags to sell peace charms in the epidemic area to save money. However, she was framed as a treason by her old lover, the aristocratic butler Albert. At the same time, the mysterious retired soldier Raymond moved in as a "guardian" and not only saw through her disguise as a man, but also became her most solid backing in crisis after crisis. When the epidemic gradually subsided, Eleanor not only saved half the city with technological innovation, but also believed in love again while fighting side by side with Raymond.
