Lai Lianying, a modern historian, transmigrates into the body of Lai Lianying, Hong Xiuquan's first wife, who shares her name.
Trapped deep inside the royal palace, she can see from within its walls how the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will rise and fall.
The original owner spent half her life shackled by theocracy, watching her husband establish his own religion of God and gather the people to worship.
She worried for the people suffering through the chaos, yet had no say in anything.
She has memorized all the historical records and knows all about the bloody infighting of the Tianjing Incident and the horrific catastrophe when Tianjing fell.
As a woman confined to the inner palace, she can only hide her plans and pretend to obey to protect herself.
Using her authority over the women's camps, she promotes farming, prepares medicinal herbs, and shelters displaced women.
She secretly maneuvers between the kings, repeatedly advising the ruler to ease harsh policies and guard against internal strife, only to invite suspicion time and again.
She cannot reverse the course of history. All she can do is seek a chance to survive amid the turmoil.
By the time the kings turn their weapons on one another and the Heavenly Kingdom teeters on the brink of collapse,
she has already prepared an escape route, protecting tens of thousands of women and children from the lower classes and finding a quiet rural place to live in peace.
