During the Chongzhen period, the world collapsed, and the road to the imperial examination had long been eroded by collusion between officials and businessmen. Although Ye Xuan is talented and has become a scholar, she still becomes a victim of power and money transactions. Misfortune ensued: a strange fire claimed the lives of both parents, and the only sister Ye Zi who depended on each other suddenly disappeared. Ye Xuan was forced to abandon the sage book and embark on the road to find a girl.
During this thorny journey, he met the woman who changed his life in Jinan Mansion - Murong Xue, a declining official lady who was proficient in medical skills and compassionate. Under her guidance, Ye Xuan accidentally embarked on a path of Confucianism and Taoism that combines the Confucian ambition to help the world and the Taoist heart of nature, and her cultivation gradually grew. However, Murong Xue's family background is like a natural chasm, and the deep love between the two has experienced the ultimate test in the family feud, feuds and displacement in troubled times.
