Zhu Yan, an architect, traveled through time and became the concubine of a merchant family in the south of the Yangtze River. He originally planned to live a low-key life and get rich by doing business with modern knowledge, but at a poetry meeting, he was spotted by the powerful Zhenbei Hou Gu Lin.
"Being my concubine is the best destination for you." The man's tone was cold, like giving alms.
But Zhu Yan's smile was as bright as a flower: "Master Hou is wrong, my destiny is in my own hands."
Since then, a thrilling cat-and-mouse game has begun. He pressed forward step by step and set up a dragnet; she cleverly maneuvered and escaped many times.
From the water town in the south of the Yangtze River to the border desert, from the alleys of the streets to the high walls of the palace, she ran away, he chased her, but she could not fly.
Gu Lin didn't understand why a concubine would rather die than obey. He thought he wanted her, but he didn't know that he had already lost his heart. Until that day, she stood on the edge of the cliff, her red dress was like fire, and she smiled decisively: "Gu Lin, I am trapped in this life, and I will not see you in the next life."
He finally understood the pride behind running away again and again, and the character behind the phrase "I don't want to be a concubine".
But when he finally learned how to love, she was covered in wounds and there was no way back.
"Zhu Yan, this time I will chase you to the ends of the earth and to the ends of the earth until death."
