She was a young career star in the eyes of everyone around her, a workaholic who put promotion above all else. With her life hanging by a thread, she killed the fiance who had come to her aid without the slightest hesitation. After staging the scene to cover her tracks, she unexpectedly transmigrated to ancient times and found herself trapped in a brothel with no way out. In a desperate bid to escape, she decided to cling to a prince for protection. She thought her identity crisis would be easy to resolve, only to discover that her supposed "talisman" was the very "enemy" she had left for dead in the wilderness. To stay alive, this straight-laced, technically minded woman put on a cunning act and began a long quest to win him over. An old incident from the Jin Dynasty, buried for years, was brought to light, and before they knew it, the two were caught up in struggles for power and love. Everyone had a hidden side. Staying alive seemed fraught with difficulty, yet the question of why they lived no longer left them lost.
