Ning Yuan, a makeup artist at the peak of her career, has the bad luck to transmigrate.
She thinks it's no big deal. People have always loved beauty, so there should still be room for her to show off her skills.
Who knew that cosmetics in ancient times were so poor in quality, and there weren't even any makeup tools?
Ning Yuan has no choice but to fend for herself. Starting out as a girl at a brothel,
she works her way up to become Lichun Brothel's chief makeup artist, then somehow ends up in the imperial palace.
After finally sorting out the three thousand beauties of the imperial harem, she gets hauled before the emperor.
"That's her. She's committed the crime of deceiving the emperor."
What a terrible misunderstanding! I only did the makeup! What they look like after taking it off has nothing to do with me!
A sly, gentle brothel owner, a scheming chancellor, and a domineering, amorous emperor.
See how Ning Yuan, a greedy, gluttonous, sharp-tongued woman, navigates them all to become the greatest makeup artist under heaven.
