This book conveys its message through transmigration.
We are all ordinary people, like Li Nian. One day, we find ourselves inhabiting Lü Zhi's body.
We think we have the power to see the future, only to discover that everything in fate is predetermined.
Li Nian, an ordinary real estate salesperson in a modern city, has no parents.
Her soul unexpectedly transmigrates into the body of Lü Zhi, empress of the Han dynasty's founding emperor.
As a transmigrator from the future, she believes
she can see what lies ahead and understand the tides of the times,
and change Lü Zhi's fate with a clear mind.
But the tides of history never give her a chance.
She thinks she can escape it all, and accept it all.
She moves between her own fate and Lü Zhi's, unable to tell who she is.
Only as she dies does she realize that he will inevitably betray her, and that she will inevitably love him.
