Li Tianran is a third-year student at an art academy. During a sketching trip, she buys an ancient jade dog. That very day, she accidentally sinks to the bottom of a lake and is rescued, but remains unconscious. Her true soul transmigrates to ancient times, where she becomes Mo Zitong, the concubine-born daughter of Mo Tianxiao, a fourth-rank military official. After her cousin Ye Chenshuang dies, Mo Zitong unexpectedly marries Duanmu Hua as a co-wife, alongside Zheng Qianyun, the devoutly Buddhist younger sister of the current imperial consort. After the wedding, Mo Zitong is showered with affection, but also experiences the full range of life's warmth and cruelty. Thus begins a season of hibiscus blossoms, a story that leaves readers lost in thought after they close the book. Mo Zitong's fantastical life is just as Duanmu Hua's poem in the book describes:
Brows lightly traced, autumn eyes turn,
A captivating grace, with distant thoughts.
A knowing glance, the parasol tree's warmth,
A slow red step, soft with sorrow.
The west wind startles a good man's peace,
A thousand miles of desolate, perilous Yinshan.
In the mortal world, half a life of drifting smoke,
A vast sea of illusion, one long tale.
