Liang Yiting, a Chinese teacher who has taught in a key high school for five years, is famous for her accurate interpretation of ancient books and vivid restoration of the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty in her classes. She always said that half a Tang Dynasty person lived in her soul, but she never thought that this joke would come true.
On a rainy night, she fell down from the attic to rescue the flooded ancient books. When she opened her eyes again, the familiar ceiling had been replaced by the cornices with carved beams and ceilings, and a strange boy in a t-shirt was calling her "girl" in an elegant tone.
She became an unknown orphan girl in the West City of Chang'an. Her "modern vocabulary" was regarded as crazy. She could only survive by relying on her knowledge of Tang poetry, Song poetry and history. By chance, she met the prince Li Ke who was on patrol incognito - that talented but ill-fated figure in the history books.
She amazed him by casually reciting "It's not like catkins blowing in the wind", and her "nonsense" about current affairs actually coincided with the pros and cons. One is a soul from another world with thousands of years of memory, and the other is a royal pearl trapped in the whirlpool of intrigue. When her "foreknowledge" collides with his struggle, when modern thinking collides with the ethics of the Tang Dynasty, love quietly grows in the fireworks and beacons of Chang'an.
But she knows his destined ending, should she keep the secret and accompany him to the destined tragedy, or should she change her destiny and fight for a way out for him and herself in this prosperous and cruel era?
