"Zi Yan is Princess after Time Travel" tells the story of Zi Min, a modern kindergarten teacher who accidentally time travels into Zi Yan and has a wonderful experience in the Qing court.
After Zi Min traveled through time, she rescued Qianlong. On her way back to the palace, she met Xiao Yichen, the little brother in white who came from a scholarly family in Jiangnan. At that time, everyone was attacked by assassins. Xiao Yichen passed by and defeated the assassins with his strong swordsmanship. He met Zi Yan's eyes and became friends. After returning to the palace, Xiao Yichen was appreciated by Qianlong for rescuing the emperor and served as the prince's literature lecturer. He had frequent contact with Zi Yan while teaching the prince, and their relationship gradually sprouted.
However, palace struggles continued. Concubine Xin's remnant party and other forces who were jealous of Zi Yan's favor falsely accused her of colluding with people outside the palace, and Zi Yan fell into a crisis of trust. Xiao Yichen firmly believes in her innocence, and investigates the truth with Yongqi, Erkang and others to help Zi Yan clear her grievances. At the same time, Zi Yan promoted education reform, which touched the interests of the conservative faction. The conservative faction united to oppose it, and Xiao Yichen fully supported it. The two won more support through various methods.
Emotionally, Xiao Yichen's family opposed his love affair with Zi Yan, and he was in a dilemma. Someone in the court created a misunderstanding, causing Zi Yan to misunderstand that Xiao Yichen was having an affair with another woman. But in the end, Xiao Yichen resolved the misunderstanding, and the relationship between the two became deeper. After experiencing life and death tests such as fires, their feelings have been further sublimated. Zi Yan changed from naive and optimistic to calm and wise in the court struggle, and Xiao Yichen also grew from a simple scholar to a mature man who can deal with the court.
