Xiao Yi, the top scholar of the Ming Dynasty, was poisoned at a banquet in Qionglin. He opened his eyes and traveled naked to the bathtub of modern female doctor Sun Rui! Facing the glowing "demon mirror" (mobile phone) and the fire-breathing "alchemy furnace" (microwave oven), this ancient man who abided by ethics completely collapsed. What shocked him even more was that Sun Rui not only exposed his arms and legs, but also dared to hold his ears and teach him to clean the toilet: "He died early in the morning, the number one scholar!"
In order to survive, Xiao Yi was forced to start a hilarious modern survival story - using stockings as a torture device to call the police, and using a brush to fill in express delivery orders, which attracted onlookers. However, he unexpectedly became famous on the Internet for his live broadcast of eight-part essays. Sun Rui gradually discovered that this old man would write love poems for her in small regular script with hairpin flowers, restore the lost Ming Dynasty rouge, and even protect her with the "Six Arts of a Gentleman" during medical troubles.
When the truth about time travel comes to light and the bronze tripod shines again, Xiao Yi must make a choice between returning to his motherland and pursuing love...
