Li Chi, a graduate student in modern history, accidentally traveled through time during the paper bottleneck period and became the newlywed princess of Zhao Yu, the prospective crown prince of the Jing Dynasty. With the calmness and detachment of a researcher, she originally thought she could become a pure observer of this period of history, recording the truth behind "Yin Jing's five years of political affairs were flawless."
However, the Zhao Yu she faced was not the flat image of "fat and taciturn" in the history books, but a living soul who was diligent but tired, capable but lonely, and walked on thin ice amid the suspicion of his father, Emperor Taizong, and the intrigues of powerful officials. From the initial mutual testing to the tacit cooperation in government affairs, the two rational and lonely hearts gradually got closer in the collision of ancient and modern thinking, and became each other's only confidants.
When Li Chi relied on historical knowledge and modern thinking to gradually uncover the conspiracy of chronic poisoning and the secret power struggle between the royal family and his son, she also came to a crossroads of fate: should she watch the established trajectory of history with a cold eye, or should she join in to warm the lover who knew the outcome?
This is not only a story about time travel and love, but also a tender gaze on history. It tells the story of how a modern soul spent five years feeling, understanding, and remembering a vivid life that has been described in a few historical books, and finally completed a profound consolation for a millennium of tragedy.
Purpose: To use rational understanding to complete a gentle sacrifice for the tragic life that has been simplified by history.
