Modern corporate slave Nan Yan accidentally time-travels to the Song Dynasty, becoming a low-ranking talent without a title. To protect herself in the perilous inner palace, she relies on a survival system to disguise herself as deaf and mute, though the system's accompanying beauty halo frequently malfunctions. She is bestowed by the emperor upon official Gu Ci, traveling far together to Cizhou. Gu Ci notices her secret but chooses to tolerate and understand her, and the two slowly draw close, far from the capital's strife. While cautiously fighting to survive step by step, Nan Yan also reaps understanding and warmth, opening a brand-new life of her own at the frontier.
