Synopsis
Sheng Xiaolan, a modern short-form drama actress from Xiamen, transmigrates to ancient times in an accident and finds herself in the body of Sheng Molan, the fourth daughter of the Sheng family. Molan's original life was full of misfortune. Though blessed with beauty, she was repeatedly defeated by schemes within the walls of the family estate. In the end, she entrusted herself to the wrong man and met a tragic fate.
Reborn as Sheng Molan, she combines the courage and intelligence of an independent modern woman and vows to rewrite her destiny. When faced with her faithless ex-husband, Liang Han, she no longer holds back. With ruthless resolve, she tears into the scoundrel and severs the ill-fated bond from her past life. Her meeting with Qi Heng, the second young master of the Duke of Qi's household, becomes another turning point in her life. At first, Qi Heng is drawn to her easygoing, innocent charm, so unlike that of the demure young ladies of ancient times, and gives her shelter from the storm in a secluded bamboo cottage. As they spend their days together, they gradually come to understand one another. Her intelligence and boldness, his gentle and refined nature: through conversation after conversation and one crisis after another, sparks of a different kind begin to fly.
However, their relationship is destined to face many twists and turns. Commandery Princess Jiamin's possessiveness and favoritism toward Qi Heng turn her initial disdain for Sheng Molan into deep jealousy. These two women, so far apart in status, become love rivals at odds with one another over Qi Heng, stirring up waves of intrigue in the capital's elite circles.
Meanwhile, beneath the Sheng family roof, dark currents are running just as deep. Lin Qinshi has been framed by the matriarch, Wang Ruofu, and her life hangs in the balance. Drawing on memories from her past life and her modern way of thinking, Sheng Molan patiently unravels the clues through layers of confusion. She not only clears Lin Qinshi's name, but also distinguishes herself in the household power struggle, proving to everyone that she is no longer a fragile young lady they can push around. From then on, she and Qi Heng join hands
