Jiang Ning is the only female member of the archaeological team. She travels to ancient tombs in the wilderness all year round and identifies ancient artifacts dating back thousands of years. She has a brave and courageous personality, without any affectation. During an excavation of a prince's tomb in the Qing Dynasty, she was carefully cleaning a dragon and phoenix jade that shone with strange light.

After a strong dizziness, Jiang Ning opened her eyes and found that she was wearing modern work clothes and suddenly appeared in the imperial garden of the Qing emperor.
By some mistake, she bumped into the current emperor, who was known as a cold-faced tyrant. The emperor's strange dress, unbridled conversation, and the ancient jade of extraordinary origin made the emperor very interested in this woman of unknown origin, and he made an exception to keep her in the palace. The archaeological knowledge from modern times and the informal style of acting repeatedly broke the rigid rules of the palace, and gradually captured the emperor's frozen heart. From this, the two began to have a love-hate entanglement that was constantly being resolved and confused.
This unique favor aroused the queen's strong fear and hostility. The queen repeatedly set traps, made things difficult in every possible way, spread rumors and framed her, trying to drive Jiang Ning out of the palace. In the dangerous palace, Jiang Ning is not alone. The taciturn and highly skilled imperial guard, grateful for her life-saving grace, stayed silently in the dark and blocked several fatal crises for her; the maid Xiu Niang assigned to her by the palace was delicate and loyal, and soon became a sister to Jiang Ning and became her most caring best friend in the palace, helping her to find out information and resolve trivial troubles...
