Gu Qingci, a doctoral candidate in history, received a wordless ancient book "Her History" after completing research on ancient women's history. Every time she turned a page, she was sucked into the corresponding historical time and space - from Li Qingzhao's desk in the Southern Song Dynasty, to Wang Zhaojun's way out of the fortress in the Western Han Dynasty, to Wu Zetian's death chamber.
She can't change the direction of history, but she can do one thing: leave a sentence "I see you" in the lives of those women who are swallowed up by the grand narrative. Accompanying Li Qingzhao in prison, he wrote the "Preface to the Records of Gold and Stone", buried "Yeting Bielu" for Wang Zhaojun under the euphratica tree, and said "Later generations will remember" when Wu Zetian took off her imperial crown.
20 Eras, 20 dilemmas, 20 time travels. From an "academic bystander", Gu Qingci was gradually touched by the fate of these women, and finally understood the true meaning of "Her History" - not to rewrite history, but to make the forgotten visible. And her own life also found its place in this journey that spanned thousands of years.
Intention: History is not a monument that has been built, but a book that is always waiting to be rewritten. Those "hers" who have been omitted from official history are not footnotes in historical scraps, but the protagonists of another "history". This book is the first attempt to open that "her history".
