Su Wan, a female doctor in the Department of Modern History, traveled through time and became a concubine in an ancient palace, and was forced to get involved in the dual whirlpool of house fighting and palace fighting. She uses calm reason as her armor and delicate emotions as her blade, struggling to move forward amid power, betrayal and love. The story not only shows the power play of palace and house fights, but also deeply depicts the inner emotional entanglements of the characters - love but not being able, trust but being abandoned, kinship broken, and confidants hard to find. The real palace struggle is not the overt and covert struggle, but the pull between the glimmer of light and darkness deep in the heart.
