The story takes place in the fictional Chinese kingdom of Caiyun. According to legend, a young man, aided by the power of the Eight Immortals, founded Caiyun. Consequently, Caiyun's territory was divided into eight provinces: Hongzhou, Huangzhou, Bizhou, Lanzhou, Zizhou, Heizhou, Baizhou, and Chazhou. Approximately 600 years ago, the king of the time ordered the nobles of each province to adopt one of these eight colors as their surnames (for example, the Marquis of Lanzhou became Lan, the Marquis of Hongzhou became Hong, and so on). Commoners were prohibited from sharing surnames with these eight marquises. Consequently, those bearing these eight colors were considered the most aristocratic of the nobles. Furthermore, because the Marquis of Zizhou, where the capital was located, also served as king, the Zi family became the royal family's surname. Despite being born into the prestigious Hong family, Hong Xiuli lived in poverty. She had to work extensively to support her family. Having experienced the turmoil of the throne struggle as a child, she deeply understood the suffering of the people. From a young age, she diligently studied, hoping to pass the imperial examination, become an official, assist the king, and build a prosperous and peaceful nation. However, as a woman, she cannot take the imperial examination. One day, Xiu Li accepts a high-paying commission from Grand Tutor Xiao and enters the harem as a noble concubine to teach and assist the incompetent emperor. This opportunity leads Xiu Li to a career as an official, and she encounters a variety of people.

Everyone who met Ye Tang once said that she was a rare genius, a genius who combined talent and beauty.
Everyone thought she had a bright future, but she began to give up on herself and let herself go.
One day, she was shipwrecked and transmigrated into the body of Ye Tang, a 19-year-old autistic girl with the same name.
She fell from a high-and-mighty princess to the lowest level of commoners.
She decided to rise up and transform herself from a top student to a genius, no longer a good-for-nothing playboy.
But why did the boy she had always treated like a younger brother recognize her?
Luo Xingchuan: "Tangtang, be good, call me brother."
Ye Tang: "Holy shit! *$#…"
...
The first person Luo Xingchuan saw when he opened his eyes after being born was Ye Tang, the older girl from next door who was ten years older than him.
He once thought that the mountains and rivers were vast and the future was long, but he never expected that she would leave before he even grew up.
For the next ten years, he lived a muddled life and became a spoiled brat. When he saw the truck driving towards him, he smiled easily.
When he opened his eyes again, he was back ten years ago, at the starting point of everything.
When he met Ye Tang again, he said to her, "This time, you are the kite in my hand. No matter how high the kite flies, the string is still in my hand."
(Female transmigration, male rebirth, both are virgins)
#Super-stunning, radiant beauty Nan Zheng & Uncontrollable, rough blacksmith Lu Cheng# [Both are virgins] In a deserted, secluded alley, the man was like a raging beast, veins bulging on his neck, his hand tightening around her slender waist. Nan Zheng chuckled softly, seemingly oblivious to the pain, her delicate white hand rising and slipping under his clothes, pressing against his lower abdomen as she moved downwards. Unable to bear her slow, languid torment, the man pressed her down, not daring to let her move an inch. The skin beneath her palm was burning hot, every muscle tense. Nan Zheng gently hooked her finger, feeling his body instantly stiffen, her smile becoming even more alluring. "Seven years have passed, and your willpower hasn't improved at all?" "I thought you'd never come back, but it turns out just a wrong message made you lose your mind." "You couldn't even sit still when you heard I was going on a blind date. What would you do if you saw me kissing someone else?" Seeing the man's jawline tighten and the veins on his temples bulge, Nan Zheng wasn't satisfied. "Since you're back, get your red envelopes ready. Maybe next time we meet, I'll be the one delivering your invitation."
