Li An, abandoned at birth in the cold palace, gains a miraculous gift when a seed from the tree of knowledge enters her mind, enhancing her intelligence and setting her on a mission to gather wisdom points by applying her newfound knowledge. 
As she grows, she uncovers her noble heritage and encounters her destined fiancé, a proud young general who looks down upon her. 
But through tough times, they recognize each other and work toward her ultimate goal. 
She was given a barren land but she turned that barren land into her small kingdom—a place where the seed's knowledge can thrive and inspire growth for future generations.
