The Jade Hairpin Shows the Way

A modern crisis: Qi Yuyan is a history graduate student facing a stolen thesis, pressure from her advisor, and her mother’s serious illness. Her life has hit rock bottom.

A curious ancient artifact: At an antiques market, she unexpectedly buys a mysterious jade hairpin. The hidden patterns on it bear a startling resemblance to symbols from the lost Yueyin civilization she is researching.

Transmigration through time: While studying the hairpin in the library, Qi Yuyan is engulfed by a flash of light and transmigrates to an ancient dynasty a thousand years in the past, becoming a “witch” about to be executed.

A life-or-death crisis: At the execution ground, she saves herself using her knowledge of history, only to be taken back to his manor and imprisoned by the cold-faced general Qi Mohan, where even more complicated circumstances await.

A mystery of identity: Qi Yuyan discovers that the body she has transmigrated into belonged to the late chancellor’s daughter. She is drawn into a struggle for power at court, and Qi Mohan seems to have a secret connection to this history.
