Jiang Jiusheng, a female doctor of history, accidentally traveled to the end of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty. In order to survive in the troubled times, she changed her name to "Jiang Jiu", disguised herself as a man and came to Peking. With her historical knowledge that was six hundred years ahead of her time, she became the most mysterious counselor under the command of King Zhu Di of Yan. During Zhu Di's critical years from vassal to emperor, Jiang Jiusheng used modern thinking and historical wisdom to become the invisible driving force behind him: During the Battle of Jingnan, she offered ingenious strategies to help Zhu Di defeat the weak and the strong. During the prosperous era of Yongle, she counseled the "Yongle Grand Ceremony", advised Zheng He on his voyages to the West, and planned the urban construction of Beijing. She accompanied Zhu Di through the peak of power, and also witnessed the loneliness of the emperor. An accident exposes her daughter's body, but in the pull of power and true love, she and Zhu Di compose a love song that spans time and space. When the trajectory of history collides fiercely with personal destiny, when modern values encounter ancient imperial power, when the relationship between counselors and emperors crosses the boundary between monarch and minister - they finally find each other's destination in parallel time and space, from the Forbidden City to the countryside, from monarch to minister, completing a redemption and fulfillment that spans time and space.
