She possesses medical knowledge from her past life, and is equipped with the Medicine King Jade Pendant, which can identify the properties of medicines and predict illnesses. She appears gentle and tolerant, but is actually unparalleled in wisdom and scheming. She originally wanted to work step by step in the compound of a deep house, find out the truth about her biological mother's wrongful death, and live a stable life, but unexpectedly, a substitution conspiracy tied her to a "sick and weak businessman". It was only during the wedding night that she realized to her surprise that this nominal husband was Xiao Jingheng, the Marquis of Zhenbei who had been demoted to the south of the Yangtze River.

The court is treacherous, the rivers and lakes have undercurrents, the remnants of the previous dynasty are ready to take action, and war breaks out in the north. Shen Qingyi used her body as a woman to form a medical camp to save lives and heal the wounded; Xiao Jingheng went into battle wearing armor to guard the mountains and rivers. From a concubine in a deep house to a first-class official, from a poor general to a powerful official in Dingding, they are each other's chess players and confidants, from pretending to be a couple to being in love with each other for life and death.

She relied on her own wisdom and medical skills to break free from the shackles of fate. She was not attached or compromised, and completed the transformation from a concubine in a house to a heroine who helps the world. It conveys the power of women who do not limit their ambitions and does not bend in adversity, and praises the courage of ordinary people to fight against fate and stick to their hearts.

In the midst of power disputes and the crisis of their family and country, they put aside their personal grudges and obsessions, and finally Abandoning the obsession with restoring the country and pacifying the world, it sublimates the overall situation of the country's stability over personal hatred, and the well-being of the people over the struggle for imperial power. It conveys the positive value of protecting peace and caring for the world, and also implies criticism of feudal injustice and political intrigue, as well as the pursuit of equality, stability, and kindness.
