Dr Janina Ramirez unlocks the secrets of illuminated manuscripts that were custom-made for kings and explores the medieval world they reveal. Part 1: Ruling by the Book Janina begins her journey with the first Anglo-Saxon rulers to create a united England, encountering books in the British Library's Royal manuscripts collection which are over a thousand years old and a royal family tree which is five metres long. Janina finds out about a king who had a reputation for chasing nuns and reads a book created as a wedding gift for a ten-year-old prince. She roams from Westminster Abbey to other ancient English spiritual sites such as Winchester, St Albans and Malmesbury, and sees for herself how animal skins can be transformed into the finest vellum. Part 2: What a King Should Know Janina shows how medieval manuscripts gave power to the king and united the kingdom in an age of plague, warfare and rebellion, discovers that Edward III used the manuscripts he read as a boy to prepare him for his great victory at the battle of Crecy and reveals how a vigorous new national identity bloomed during the 100 Years War with France. In the British Library's Royal Manuscripts collection Dr Ramirez finds out that magnificent manuscripts like the Bedford Hours, taken as war booty from the French royal family, were adapted for the education of English princes. She also explores how knowledge spread through a new form of book - the encyclopaedia. Part 3: Libraries Gave Us Power The story of the British Library's Royal Manuscripts collection reaches its end with the last great flowering of illumination, in the magnificent courts of the Tudors. She investigates astrological texts created for Henry VII, and unwraps his will - still in its original, extravagantly-decorated velvet and gold cover. She hears music written for Henry VIII, which went unperformed for centuries| and reads love notes between the king and Anne Boleyn, written in the margins of a prayer book. Nina also visits Bruges, the source of many of the greatest manuscripts, where this medieval art form collided with the artistic innovations of the Renaissance. （转自mvgroup论坛）。都市白领田小麦（Angelababy 饰）即将与未婚夫盛赞（张超 饰）步入婚姻殿堂，可田父（尹铸胜 饰）的因公殉职却打破了宁静的幸福。整理遗物时，田小麦偶然发现父亲的探案笔记，不料却身陷一桩十余年前无疾而终的神秘凶案，这桩案件也勾起了小麦年少时刺痛却刻骨的初恋回忆。而同时小麦从闺蜜钱灵（热依扎 饰）那得知了一个叫“魔女区”的网店，从那里可以买到一切东西甚至是爱情回忆。但在她买下一条神秘紫色丝巾后，各种意外接踵而至，一切似乎都与那桩悬案、那个年少时的爱人——秋收（阮经天 饰）有关。田小麦调查着当年悬案的蛛丝马迹，并通过“魔女区”寻找自己的初恋秋收。可随着调查一点一点深入，田小麦发现自己的爱情和那场凶案紧紧纠缠在一起，甚至连盛赞一家也卷入其中。时如逝水，一去不返，田小麦能否重新寻回那段刻骨的爱情，而秋收又将带着什么样的秘密回来，紫色丝巾下的爱恨又会带领他们走向怎样的结局......。
