Qin Man, an elite medical expert from the modern era, transmigrates into the body of Qin Muxi, a seventeen-year-old noblewoman in the Nantang Kingdom. The original Qin Muxi was expelled from her father's manor at age eight after a facial disease left her with a hideous, half-covering scar. Labeled as cursed by a scheming concubine, she was sent to live in the countryside. After a bandit attack kills the original owner, Qin Man awakens on a mountainside, possessing the woman's memories and her own modern medical knowledge. She discovers she has brought her private dimensional pharmacy with her, a space that automatically replenishes its supplies. This cheat allows her to treat the severe poison scar on her face, which is actually a manifestation of accumulated toxins that she can now cure.
Surviving a storm in a cave, Qin Man encounters a mysterious, poisoned man who attacks her in a delirious state before collapsing. Using her pharmacy's medicine, she saves his life, and he departs before dawn, leaving her his cloak. Qin Man then travels to the capital and returns to the Minister of Rites' manor. She immediately asserts her authority as the legitimate eldest daughter, outmaneuvering the Second Concubine to restore household control to her frail, grieving mother. She reclaims her original residence, Qingxin Courtyard, and begins a systematic treatment to heal her face while maintaining her disfigured appearance in public to avoid unwanted attention.
During an outing in the capital, Qin Man saves an injured man from a street accident using advanced medical techniques, catching the eye of Xiao Ruochen, the Grand Preceptor and Crown Prince's tutor. He feels an inexplicable sense of familiarity with her, though her face remains veiled. Later, while gathering herbs in the mountains, Qin Man removes her veil to treat her skin and is secretly observed by Prince Mo Xuan. He is captivated by her true beauty and ethereal dance, believing her to be a fairy from his dreams. Unaware she is being watched, Qin Man reapplies her concealment paste and returns home.
The narrative shifts to the Grand Flower-Viewing Feast in the imperial palace, a matchmaking event for the royal princes. Qin Man attends with her sisters, Qin Muyao and Qin Muchu. There, she confronts Murong Xue, the capital's most renowned beauty, who humiliates Qin Man's maid. Qin Man retaliates by revealing that her veil absorbs toxins and that contact causes severe skin reactions, punishing the offending servant. At the evening banquet, Xiao Ruochen unexpectedly invites Qin Man to perform a dance alongside Murong Xue and himself. The Empress Dowager reveals that the late Crown Prince had been betrothed to Qin Muxi, adding political complexity to the situation.
On stage, Qin Man's dance is breathtaking, surpassing the expectations of the court. She displays profound musical understanding, countering Murong Xue's attempts to disrupt her rhythm. The performance earns thunderous applause and rewards from the Emperor. However, the celebration is shattered when masked assassins attack the palace, firing arrows into the crowd. Xiao Ruochen leaps to protect Qin Man as chaos erupts, marking the beginning of a dangerous entanglement in court politics and life-threatening conspiracies. Qin Man must now navigate these threats while continuing her search for the ancient medical text that may hold the key to returning to her original world.
