Lin Wei, a girl from the Department of Modern History, traveled through time and became Cai Wenji in the late Eastern Han Dynasty due to an accident. With deep sympathy and historical memory for this talented woman's bumpy fate, she tried to protect her family and reverse the tragedy in troubled times, but she was swept away by the tide of the times time and time again: she witnessed the tragic death of her father Cai Yong, endured the pain of losing her husband after her first marriage, struggled between family and country and flesh and blood during the twelve years of the Huns' upheaval, and after returning to the Han Dynasty, she experienced the warmth of troubled times through supporting Dong Si.
She once wanted to use modern knowledge to rewrite her destiny, but in the end she understood through the ups and downs that individual power cannot shake the wheel of history. But as Cai Wenji, she transformed her lifelong attachment and pain into "Eighteen Beats of Hujia" and "Poems of Sorrow and Indignation". In the interweaving of father-daughter love, homeland love, flesh-and-blood love, and love for each other, she not only continued the cultural lineage, but also made the "love of a lifetime" transcend personal joys and sorrows, becoming the epitome of women's tenacity and brilliance of humanity in troubled times.
