Female lead: Shen Lingyi
Shen Lingyi was 19 when she transmigrated from Chang’an.
A young woman from a prominent family in Tang Dynasty Chang’an, her father was a Vice Minister of Rites and her mother came from the Cui clan of Qinghe.
Poised and self-possessed, she is steady by nature and observes ancient etiquette. Gentle on the outside but strong within, she has the pride and resilience of a woman from a distinguished family deep in her bones.
She excels at music, chess, calligraphy, painting, needlework, embroidery, poetry, lyrics, etiquette, and protocol. She is also perceptive and observant, with a keen eye for people’s expressions and a thoughtful nature.
With no money when she transmigrated, she was helped by a kind community police officer and registered as a homeless person with amnesia, keeping the name Shen Lingyi.
From a frightened young woman of ancient times, to a hardworking wage earner adapting to modern life, to an independent woman who finds her place in the modern world.
