The male protagonist Guo Wenxuan travels back to the period after Wu Zetian became emperor (the Tang Dynasty was changed to Zhou in 690 AD). This was the "Red Makeup Era" when female politicians in the Tang Dynasty were unprecedentedly active. Palace coups were frequent and power struggles were extremely complex.
He accidentally entered Princess Taiping's birthday party during time travel, and was involved in history because of her delicate and handsome appearance. She was attracted by the princess and forced to become her "plaything".
Later, he dealt with powerful women such as Princess Taiping, Wu Zetian and even Shangguan Wan'er, using information gaps and modern thinking to seek a glimmer of hope and autonomy in the murderous palace and court.
