Shen Qingyi, a calligraphy and painting restorer in the Forbidden City, traveled through time and became the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Rites of the Kangxi Dynasty after touching a picture of an unknown lady.
She is familiar with the history of the Qing Dynasty and knows the fate of everyone in the Forbidden City——
He knew that his eldest brother Yinti would be imprisoned for half his life because of the nightmare curse on the prince. He knew that the fourth master would become Yongzheng, and he knew that the eighth master's party would eventually be destroyed.
She wanted to survive, so she carefully avoided all the whirlpools of imperial power. She just wanted to live peacefully until the day she returned to modern times.
But the eldest brother just fell in love with her.
"I won't embarrass you," he said. "When I lose, you can say that I married you by force, and they won't embarrass you."
"You're going to lose," she told him.
He smiled: "I know. But how do you want me to resist not liking you?"
She tried to change his fate, tried to make him avoid the prince's minefield, and tried to remind Kangxi that he was not the person cursed by the nightmare.
But history is like a wall, motionless.
She was threatened by the Ba Ye Party, was jealous of the Fourth Master, and was pricked black and blue by the thorns of the palace.
Until that day, he was still shackled and escorted behind the high wall.
While she was standing on the palace road, she heard his voice coming from behind:
"Shen Qingyi, you are not allowed to die. You must return to your world, and then... Take a look at what the Forbidden City would be like without me."
Many years later, a painting was exhibited in the Palace Museum.
The painting shows a man and a woman standing in front of Jingshan Mountain in the heavy snow, looking at the Forbidden City in the distance.
The date of the painting is unknown, and the author is unknown.
The commentator said: "It's strange that the woman in this painting looks exactly the same as Teacher Shen who restored this painting a hundred years ago."
