Lin Yungui, a modern artifact restorer, accidentally transmigrates to Chang’an in the Great Sheng dynasty while restoring a mysterious blue jade jue. She becomes Shen Yungui, the daughter of the Shen family, caught up in a wrongful treason case.
She wakes to find her father imprisoned, her family framed, and herself nearly murdered, with no way out. To survive and uncover the truth about the Shen family, she has no choice but to join forces with the cold-faced Prince of Jin, Xiao Zhi. From the dim lamps of the Ministry of Justice to the old fire at Hanzhang Palace, from half a jade jue to the orphaned heir of the crown prince, they gradually uncover a palace conspiracy buried by power twenty years ago.
Xiao Zhi is the feared head of the Imperial Guard, cold and solitary, and distrustful of human nature. But as he investigates cases alongside Lin Yungui, he sees her intelligence, resilience, and mysterious origins. And in this unfamiliar ancient Chang’an, Lin Yungui gradually finds people to care for, a place to call home, and a love she cannot bear to leave behind.
When the truth is finally revealed and the blue jade jue opens the door back to the modern world once more, she must choose between the life she once had and the man she loves in Chang’an.
A journey through time, an old case, and a profound love that crosses the ages.
Yungui returns to Chang’an, and to your heart.
