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.

The sound of water dripping in the distance provided a slow, torturous rhythm to their suffering.</p>
