Episode 1 recap: Extras Li Caiwei traveled back to ancient times.
In the gloomy night at the Pingyang Prince's mansion, Li Caiwei suddenly sat up from the coffin and discovered that the person lying next to her was Prince Shen Huai Jin, who had died suddenly. The maid Dingxiang brought her a cup of wine, saying that if she drank it, she could accompany the prince forever in the afterlife, as it was the custom for a wife to follow her deceased husband.
Thinking it was all part of a play, Li Caiwei drank the wine without hesitation. However, she suddenly felt something was wrong—it was really poison. Time rewound to the day before the wedding, and Li Caiwei woke up from the dream. Her maid Lanxin had people waiting by her bed and asked her to try on the newly tailored red wedding gown. Still not fully awake, Li Caiwei was informed of the situation by Lanxin. She was originally a young lady from the Marquis's family, but since the Marquis died in battle, she had been taken in and raised by the Pingyang Prince, who was a close friend of the Marquis. However, she had once fallen into the water when she was eight years old, which sometimes made her a little confused.
Lanxin helped her put on the wedding gown, and Li Caiwei immediately became radiant. She was once again brought in front of the coffin, but when Dingxiang brought her the wine again, Li Caiwei resolutely refused to drink it. The Queen ordered the servants to force-feed the poisoned wine into Li Caiwei's mouth, and once again, Li Caiwei died. Time rewound to ten days before the wedding, and Li Caiwei was determined not to repeat the same mistakes. She decided to escape from the prince's mansion and find a way back to the modern era. She wasted no time and prepared a lot of gold, silver, and valuables for her escape. However, as soon as she climbed over the wall, she encountered Shen Huai Jin. If Shen Huai Jin returned late, he would climb over the wall to enter. Seeing Li Caiwei, his childhood sweetheart, determined to escape, Shen Huai Jin was deeply saddened. However, he still agreed to help her escape and kicked her off the wall.
Li Caiwei's escape journey was extremely difficult. She not only lost her belongings but also injured her leg from the fall. To make matters worse, pursuers arrived, intent on capturing her and taking her back.
