Shen Qingci, a Chinese doctor, disguised herself as the deposed princess Su Wan and was trapped in the cold palace. Her family forced her to "die of illness". She chooses to survive, but she needs to hide the secret of time travel. I met Xie Yanzhi, a talented man from a poor family, who was suppressed by the imperial examination because his poems did not conform to the eight-legged stereotype. Shen Qingci borrowed thousands of years of poetry and literary theory to secretly help him challenge the impasse in the imperial examination.
The two joined forces to break through the clichéd style of writing with shocking poems, and Xie Yanzhi gradually became famous. Prince Xiao Jingchen is suspicious of Shen Qingci, and Xie Yanzhi has a secret affection for her. The Minister of Rites and the concubine jointly suppressed Xie's poems and accused him of plagiarism, and investigated the behind-the-scenes.
Shen Qingci took the opportunity to investigate the case and found that the deposed party involved a power struggle between the chief assistant Qin Zhong and the Queen Mother Wang. The palace examination is about to take place, and the other party sets up a net to destroy Xie Yanzhi and "Qingliu".
On the day of the palace examination, Shen Qingci took a desperate risk and broke into the court to expose the conspiracy and falsify the ethics with modern ideas. Xie Yanzhi's imperial examination articles echoed the innovation. The two cooperated internally and externally to bring down the powerful traitor and avenge the injustice.
Afterwards, Shen Qingci refused to return to the harem, and opened an academy with Xie Yanzhi to advocate "managing the world for practical purposes" and sowing the seeds of change. Emotions are sublimated into profound bonds that resonate with ideals.
