Li Yue, an ordinary girl who was not loved and did not understand love in modern times, accidentally traveled to the fictional Zhou Dynasty and became the prisoner of the regent Xiao Jin.
Xiao Jin, a powerful and crazy prince, has mysophobia, desire for control, and emotional and cognitive impairment. He regarded Li Yue as a "humanoid soothing incense" to relieve insomnia, imprisoned her in Liuli Pavilion, and "loved" her like a domesticated pet.
Li Yue went from fear and flattery to despair, and finally escaped with an elaborate fake death. But after she "died", Xiao Jin realized that he had already been sincerely moved by possessing her day after day.
From then on, the aloof regent embarked on a hellish journey to pursue his wife - he asked to be deposed, disguised as a guardian, learned to respect her, and endured the suffering she had suffered. But when he finally learned how to love, the girl who once had eyes for him only said calmly: "I forgive you, but I don't love you anymore."
This is a cruel teaching about "education of love" and an epic story of a girl's growth from dependence to independence.
