Su Qingyuan is a modern cultural relic restorer. While working on a Song Dynasty bronze mirror etched with mysterious patterns, she is unexpectedly swept away by a burst of dazzling light from its surface. When she wakes, she discovers she has transmigrated to the fictional Great Jing Dynasty and become the illegitimate daughter of the Su family, whose head is a vice minister of revenue.

Amid the shifting currents of court politics and complicated relationships, her intelligence and resilience help her escape one predicament after another, earning her respect and friendship along the way. She also unexpectedly becomes entangled in a secret that could determine the rise or fall of the dynasty...
