Synopsis
Modern bestselling historical author Shen Buyan finds himself transported back in time, where he encounters the notorious "Scarlet Empress" of history, Queen Lu Yuan. Through multiple journeys across time, Shen witnesses Lu Yuan's profound patriotism and uncovers the truth behind her misrepresentation as a "scarlet empress" by later generations. Determined to restore her tarnished legacy, he embarks on a quest to vindicate the maligned queen.
Their love blossoms across millennia—a rare bond of mutual devotion. Yet fate cruelly weaves their story along opposing timelines: when her love for him runs deep, he remains unaware; and by the time his love for her burns brightest, she no longer recognizes him.
