Lin Wei, a doctor of chemistry, woke up from a laboratory explosion and turned out to be Sun Xi, the frail and sick concubine daughter of Tang Dynasty Prime Minister Chang Sun Wuji. Faced with the conspiracy and contempt in the inner courtyard of the deep house, she originally wanted to survive in a low profile, but due to the crisis of Gaochang's invasion and the defeat of the Tang army, she was forced to stand on the forefront of history.
When the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were helpless against the strong city wall, she presented a shocking "Gunpowder Memorial". Under Li Shimin's doubtful eyes, she personally guided the establishment of the secret research and development base "Tiangongyuan". From saltpeter purification to stable ratio, from thunder to rockets, she used modern chemical knowledge to launch the first dimensionality reduction strike in the cold weapon era.
After the smoke cleared, she was granted the title of the first female duke since the founding of the country, but she was deeply involved in the whirlpool of the prince's succession. He and Du Ruhui's son Du Cheng knew and cherished each other, and jointly founded Gewu Academy, spreading the scientific fire to the Tang Dynasty. She promoted economic reform, opened up the Maritime Silk Road, and used science and technology as a lever to leverage changes in the entire era.
However, when the imperial power changed, the old aristocrats counterattacked, when gunpowder technology quietly leaked out, and when Wu Zetian, her enemy and friend, reached the pinnacle of power, Changsun Xi discovered that the technological revolution she brought was leading Datang to an unprecedented path. In the torrent of history, she must use wisdom and courage to protect the prosperous age she created and write a legend that belongs to reason and women.
