Wang Xiyan, a modern female painter, was accidentally electrocuted while rushing to paint in the studio and woke up as an ancient queen. She used to write about urban lights and shadows, but suddenly she was trapped in a red-walled palace. Faced with a strange identity, a palace with strict rules, and the emperor Liu Gang who had the same name as her ex-boyfriend and the same scar on his wrist, she felt confused and at a loss.
With the agility and frankness of a modern soul, she amazed the court with her unique painting style and novel ideas. When she got along with Liu Gang, she broke his inherent understanding of the queen. The emperor's calmness and gentleness attracted each other with her intelligence and ease. From discussing calligraphy and painting to talking about worldly affairs, a love that spanned time and space quietly grew. When the constraints of the palace wall met the deep love of the emperor, and when modern thinking collided with ancient rituals, Wang Xiyan not only found a sense of belonging in a strange era, but also gained a love that began in paintings and was true to his heart across time and space. This is a palace romance about identity, freedom and affection. See how modern female painters use pen and ink to write their own love legends in the ancient palace.
