Lin Wan, deputy chief physician of the emergency department of a tertiary hospital, traveled directly to the Tang Dynasty palace after working a 36-hour night shift. When he woke up, the "Prince" suddenly suffered a cardiac arrest, and the doctors in the room could only give him ginseng soup. She pushed aside the crowd and performed standardized chest compressions, pushing the patient back from the gate of hell - at the cost of being almost wiped on the neck by Queen Wu who drew her sword and acted like a witch.
Later she found out that the man she rescued was not the prince at all, but Queen Wu's favorite male pet, Xue Huaiyi. This man was good-looking and had a sweet mouth. He gave her a jade orchid hairpin, and he would squat under the locust tree in the backyard of Baima Temple and serve her warm roasted naan.
The palace is not a place to worry. On the surface it is a peaceful and prosperous time, but underneath there are turbulent undercurrents. Xue Huaiyi was released from the palace to serve as a supervisor and was involved in the conspiracy between the Ministry of War and the generals; Li Chongyi, the lieutenant general of the Jinwu Guard, was ordered to secretly protect Lin Wan. He did not speak much but every sentence was measured. The occasional glances made it difficult to tell whether it was a reminder or something else; and Empress Wu's bottomless eyes were always watching everyone's movements in the dark.
As for Lin Wan herself, a time traveler with nothing but medical skills and an iron heart of the 21st century, she had to deal with the court rules of the Tang Dynasty and protect herself from the intrigues. She also had to think clearly about one thing: if she found her way home one day, she would not be willing to leave behind the young man who smelled of locust flowers.
