A top agent with a wood-type special ability transmigrates into the body of a disgraced official's daughter, after her family is framed and wiped out.
To escape their pursuers, Jing Yi flees with her mother to the neighboring state of Jin. They settle in a small village under assumed names, where she uses her talents to build a prosperous life.
By chance, she uses her medical skills and special ability to save a breathtakingly handsome invalid, only for the sickly man to cling to her...
After recovering, the invalid, Xiao Yilin, becomes emperor, but loses the woman he loves.
Jing Yi leaves Xiao Yilin to avenge herself and stay true to her principles and ideals.
She heads to the frontier to start over, clearing land and farming, building up her strength and raising an army. In the end, she personally leads her troops to destroy her enemies and establishes a new state of her own.
Only after searching tirelessly does Xiao Yilin learn that the woman he loves has become a power in her own right. To win her over, he keeps insisting that he wants to marry into her family.
Jing Yi: I want to build my career, not find a man.
Xiao Yilin: I won't get in the way of your career. I'll give you the whole country. Just give me a title.
