She is Li Leyao, the concubine of a doctor in the Ministry of Officials. Inherited from his family's education since childhood, he is as smart as ice and snow. However, after his family fell into disgrace, he had no choice but to deal with the rich and powerful. His heart gradually became as calm as an ancient well, cold and heavy, as solid as a rock.
He is Shen Jingxing, a boy from a poor family. When he was young, because of his good calligraphy, he was sent to Li's Mansion to copy books. He secretly borrowed and read among the pen and ink to comfort his thirst for knowledge. He embraced the dream of imperial examination and walked towards the narrow gate with difficulty step by step. The road ahead was bumpy.
An accidental encounter in the study, the boy and girl chatted because of the books and got to know each other because of the articles. The two trajectories that were supposed to never intersect have become intertwined and entangled since then.
The torrent of the times is coming, the family and the country are in turmoil, and the world is turned upside down. They tempered in pain, grew up in separation, and transformed each other.
This is a long song of joy and sorrow played in the divine capital of Luoyang, a fateful entanglement about love and hate, betrayal and redemption - a drunken dream of the previous life, destined to fall into this life.
