[Two-way transmigration] [Building-infrastructure fanatic] [Strong female ensemble] [A technological leap that overwhelms the past] [Political schemes and strategy] Lin Wei, a modern materials science PhD, transmigrates into the body of an abandoned imperial concubine. From the start, she and four other women of the ancient court face the prospect of freezing or starving to death. Then a mysterious altar deep in the cold palace unexpectedly activates, allowing all five of them to travel back to the modern world together!
