The story takes place in an imaginary ancient troubled world. The heroine Lin Yue was a modern historical researcher who accidentally traveled to a world where noble clans controlled everything. Here, she met Su Ran, a young man from a poor family. Although Su Ran came from a poor family, he had a heart to use his pen as a sword to break the rule of the gentry.
The noble family regarded the poor family as nothing, and in order to protect their own privileges, they suppressed Su Ran in every possible way, becoming a powerful obstacle on their way forward. With modern knowledge and wisdom, Lin Yue could have helped Su Ran, but she was faced with the constraints of family responsibilities and made a painful choice between helping Su Ran realize her ideals and saving her own family.
At the same time, once Lin Yue's hidden identity as a time traveler is exposed, it will not only cause Su Ran's misunderstanding, but will also be ostracized by the entire society. The shortcomings of Su Ran's humble background seriously affected his development and self-confidence in a society dominated by the gentry. The discrimination and suppression by the gentry made their relationship and career development full of hardships.
Lin Yue's family is also facing the crisis of being wiped out by the noble clan. She must help Su Ran rise within a limited time to fight against the noble clan. In the end, the male and female protagonists succeeded in breaking the rule of the noble family, but Su Ran was estranged because the female protagonist concealed her time travel identity. There was bitterness behind this victory. But after many twists and turns, the two finally solved their misunderstanding and joined hands to create a new era.
