A modern psychology student is transported into the past as a mistreated, downtrodden girl. She plans to lie flat and take life as it comes, but is forced to become the pampered darling of a cold-faced chancellor who holds power over the court. Spoiled and doted on at every turn, she eventually discovers that this sweet romance spanning a thousand years was all part of his long-laid plans.
Female Lead: Shen Zhiyi/Cui Zhiyi (modern name: Su Wan), a 23-year-old psychology graduate student. Rational and perceptive, she brings a modern outlook and a dry sense of humor.
Male Lead: Pei Heng, 26, the youngest chancellor of the Great Zhou dynasty. Stern and cold on the surface, he is deeply devoted and restrained in love, with an iceberg of a heart that melts for her alone.
