A modern soul travels through time into an ancient era governed by strict traditional rules. The original owner of her body has been rejected by her fiancé and subjected to the scorn and gossip of those around her. Defying the deep-rooted prejudice that 'a woman's lack of talent is a virtue,' she rents a small courtyard and establishes a school for girls. She welcomes women from humble backgrounds who have endured difficult lives, teaching them literacy, arithmetic, and practical survival skills. Her actions provoke contempt and challenges from traditional schools, and the two sides agree to a public contest. Facing deliberate provocations and secret attempts at sabotage, the women bravely step onto the stage and use their knowledge to prove their worth, awakening society to the importance of women's right to education.
