Su Qingyan, a top modern cosmetic medicine specialist, suffers a surgical accident and transmigrates to the Qianlong era. She becomes an orphan whose family has been destroyed, with no one to rely on, and finds herself in dire straits from the start!
At the time, Qing Dynasty women longed to be beautiful but had no idea how to achieve it. Their foundation makeup caked and settled into wrinkles, their eyebrows were unruly and coarse, and noblewomen were tormented by age spots, dull skin, and fine lines. Drawing on her modern expertise in cosmetic medicine, Su Qingyan breathes new life into ancient recipes such as the Imperial Jade Face Powder and the Ouzo formula. She sets up a street stall to shape eyebrows and improve complexions, quickly winning countless fans with her immediate results. Step by step, she turns her little stall into Qingyan Pavilion, a place everyone in the capital clamors to visit, and rises from a destitute street orphan to a highly sought-after beauty entrepreneur!
By a twist of fate, the Empress recognizes her talent and brings her into the palace. With her exceptional cosmetic skills, she helps the imperial consorts improve their skin, restore their complexions, and perfect their brows and lips. She rises from a beauty specialist with no rank to Qing Fei, the Qianlong Emperor's one and only favorite, showered with honor and favor!
But there is never any peace in the imperial harem! Gao Jia is arrogant and jealous, framing her time and again. Ling Fei hides a knife behind her false kindness, laying insidious traps. The Nalan clan conspires with powerful relatives, closing in at every turn, while the succession struggle stirs beneath the surface and danger lurks everywhere. Su Qingyan has no interest in basking in imperial favor. Calm and unyielding, she wields cosmetic medicine like a blade, dismantling conspiracies and exposing schemes. She gives her enemies a swift, satisfying face-slapping, never beating around the bush!
With the Empress's full support and her loyal servants standing by her, she and Qianlong gradually fall deeply in love, their bond growing from doctor and patient. Breaking through the conventions that divide Manchu and Han, she fights her way to the top, rising from a lowly orphan to the highest seat in the harem!
Watch a modern beauty specialist sweep through the imperial harem with her extraordinary skills, turn the tables in style, protect those around her, win the emperor's heart, and create her own beauty legend in the Qing dynasty!
