Jiang Qingqing, the only princess of the Great Liang Kingdom, finds her world shattered when the Empress Dowager seizes power. Accusing her father’s military faction of treason following a devastating war defeat, the Empress Dowager strips Jiang Qingqing of her status and exiles her to a desolate village to die. Abandoned in a dilapidated straw hut with no food or water, the once-pampered princess faces starvation and exposure. Her only possession is a mysterious wristwatch left by her late mother, Consort Wan, which suddenly activates as she contemplates suicide. The device connects to a remote player in the modern world: Fu Zhengnan, the cold and powerful CEO of Fu Corporation. Initially viewing the experience as an intrusive otome game, Fu Zhengnan is compelled to intervene when he witnesses Jiang Qingqing’s suffering. He uses in-game currency to repair her hut, provide clothing, and supply food, transforming her dire situation through a series of digital transactions.
The connection between the two worlds deepens as Fu Zhengnan invests heavily in Jiang Qingqing’s survival, upgrading her environment from a leaking shack to a luxurious modern apartment complete with gourmet meals and comfortable furnishings. Jiang Qingqing, unaware of Fu Zhengnan’s true identity, reveres him as a divine being who has taken pity on her. Their interactions are mediated through the watch interface, where she can see and hear him, and he can observe her every move. Meanwhile, Jiang Qingqing’s political enemies in the Great Liang Kingdom do not rest. Liu Mei, the daughter of the Prime Minister who orchestrated the princess’s exile, arrives at the hut to humiliate and potentially kill her. Jiang Qingqing, displaying unexpected combat skills inherited from her mother, defeats Liu Mei and her servants, protecting her sanctuary and earning Fu Zhengnan’s silent admiration.
As Fu Zhengnan becomes more emotionally invested, he discovers that the game’s payment system is linked to an untraceable overseas shell corporation, raising suspicions of a scam. Despite this, he continues to support Jiang Qingqing, even triggering a holographic projection feature that allows for a brief physical manifestation. This event leads to a pivotal moment where Fu Zhengnan finds himself inexplicably transported into Jiang Qingqing’s world, sharing a bed with her. The boundary between the digital game and reality begins to blur, forcing Fu Zhengnan to confront the genuine nature of his connection to the princess. Back in the Great Liang Kingdom, the fugitive prince Jiang Yu, the only surviving male of the accused Jiang family, also enters the narrative. He seeks to clear his family’s name and uncover the truth behind the treason charges, setting the stage for future political upheaval.
The story moves toward a convergence of these two worlds. Fu Zhengnan, initially detached, finds his indifference crumbling as he witnesses Jiang Qingqing’s resilience and gratitude. He begins to view her not as a game character but as a real person deserving of protection. Jiang Qingqing, in turn, relies on her divine benefactor for survival while navigating the treacherous politics of her kingdom. The Empress Dowager’s grip on power remains firm, but the arrival of Jiang Yu and the mysterious interventions in Jiang Qingqing’s life introduce variables that could destabilize the regime. Fu Zhengnan’s corporate resources and modern knowledge may become crucial assets in this ancient conflict, while Jiang Qingqing’s royal lineage offers a path to legitimacy and revenge. The narrative establishes a complex dynamic where a modern CEO and a fallen princess are bound by fate, technology, and growing emotional ties, promising a journey of redemption, political intrigue, and cross-dimensional romance.
