Synopsis
[edit]Ban Shu is a girl who grew up in the western frontier. She travels to the Han capital to meet her father, but he dies before they can be reunited and his family does not approve of her due to her background. In order to be accepted by her father's family, she enters the palace to learn proper etiquette and is hired to be an imperial scholar. Her lack of understanding of Chinese culture causes a stream of comedic disruptions in class, but at the same time her outgoing and unconventional ways brighten up the dull atmosphere of the academy. At the palace she meets and falls in love with fellow professor Wei Ying, who is still grieving for his ex-fiancee. Her vivaciousness and bright personality slowly touches him and allows him to forget about his past love.
