In the last years of Tianxi, epidemics were rampant. Liu Wei, who was reborn in the body of a young child, was left alone in mourning clothes and living with her wet nurse in a deserted temple. Every day she paid homage to her parents who could not return to their hometown for burial, and struggled to get a bite to eat. During an adventure to steal a cake from the Runan Palace, she had a fierce conflict with the Prince of Runan and formed a feud. Then came a turn of fate. Mrs. Li, who had the same surname, escorted the coffin back home. After being introduced by the abbot, Liu Wei's filial piety and extraordinaryness were noticed by the old lady. Because she might have the same ancestry as the old lady, and was commented by the eminent monk that "the fate is extremely noble", Liu Wei was accepted by the Gu family, and together they embarked on a journey back to their hometown in Yuezhou. She was careful in order to gain a foothold in this wealthy family. She studied and practiced calligraphy with the young master of the Gu family, and she rose to prominence, but she also felt the different eyes and potential waves inside and outside the house. From an orphan struggling to survive to a cousin living under someone else's roof, Liu Wei's journey to survive in ancient times has just begun.
