Heartbroken and banished from the palace, Zhen Huan, a noble consort of the Qing Dynasty, is thrust through time into the 21st-century village of Ivory Mountain, weakened from childbirth and consumed by bitter heartache.
Gone are the vermilion palace walls and golden tiles. In their place are Xie Guangkun's schemes, Zhao Si's stammer, and Liu Neng's jokes. There she meets the stubborn young Xie Yongqiang, who is standing up to his father and devoting himself to the orchard.
Faced with this “fallen woman,” whose speech is strange but whose bearing is extraordinary, Xie Yongqiang's simple sincerity and perseverance are like a glimmer of light in her frozen heart. Watch as this master of palace intrigue uses imperial strategy to outwit Guangkun and builds alliances to resolve a rural business war.
On this simple, honest land, with an emperor's fickleness now a distant memory, can a man named Xie Yongqiang, through his clumsy yet genuine devotion, make her believe that sincere love can exist without schemes? A healing legend that transcends time now unfolds in full passion across the black soil.
