A professor from the Qing History Department traveled through time while visiting the Dongnuan Pavilion of the Forbidden City (where the Empress Dowager Cixi listened to politics behind the curtain) and became Yehenara Huizheng, the amma of Yehenara Xingzhen (Cixi). Hui Zheng felt that the country's fate was not good due to the Opium War in the late Qing Dynasty, and planned to provide "elite education" to ten-year-old Xingzhen in an attempt to reverse the country's fate. Unexpectedly, Xingzhen disguised herself as a man in order to complete the task of "selling letters", and happened to meet Li Hongzhang, who had failed in the imperial examination, his sixth elder brother Yixin, and his childhood sweetheart Gualja Lurou. Xingzhen belongs to Yixin, and Yichi, who accidentally walked in at the birthday party, fell in love with Xingzhen at first sight. The cold and cunning Yichi VS the elegant and considerate Yixin. After experiencing various changes before Xingzhen entered the palace for the draft, will her secret love for Yixin blossom? Or will Yi Chi's sadomasochism conquer her? Or will she leave everything behind and follow Hong Xiuquan, who leads the uprising? Can Huizheng's elite education change Wanqing's declining national destiny?
