Parallel to the 19th century, there are two imaginary overseas studies in the Eastern and Western worlds. The ambitious and scheming heroine uses all her bad intentions to protect her family and country.
Wen Lan is the eldest lady of Qinghefang. She has both a love mind and a career ambition.
Helplessly, her childhood sweetheart Xue Wangyue (a straight man with a handsome face) dislikes her very much and breaks off the engagement. Her beloved eldest brother Wen Fan (who favored boys over girls) never considered letting her participate in the family business.
Wen Lan realized that some things must be fought for by oneself. She worked hard to get the opportunity to study abroad (with her childhood sweetheart and others), which turned out to be a turning point in her life.
Wen Lan, who came to the West, saw the world and was shocked by it. At the same time, she was a lovely and precious exotic item in the eyes of the British aristocrats. Some of them liked her, some despised her, some wanted to tease her, but she did arouse people's curiosity and attention.
The most important thing is that she actually got the favor of the aloof industrialist Duke Fielder.
Wen Lan felt elated because of her change in destiny, but she and her country were both 'alien' after all. She finally woke up from various cruel realities. Realizing that she had been living in the dream they had given her.
As a result, she knew what it meant to have his own master, and what it meant to be the weakest of the jungle. She also knew what she should do.
