At eighteen, Shen Nian went from being a nobody in show business to being hated by the entire internet. Her stepsister, Lin Yue, joined forces with her adoptive parents to frame her, ruining her reputation. In despair, an accident gave her a new lease on life: she returned to the age of eighteen, just as she was entering the entertainment industry, and was bound to an outrageously powerful "Goddess Development System."
With the System's help, Shen Nian's acting skills improved by leaps and bounds, and she landed the fifth female lead in a major online drama, giving her career its first real break. But just as things were starting to take off, Lin Yue struck again. She deliberately set Shen Nian up to spend a night with domineering CEO Fu Sihan, then exposed what happened, hoping to ruin her once more. Shen Nian refused to be brought down. With the System's help, she deftly weathered the public-opinion crisis, and the incident also brought her into contact with Fu Sihan. Drawn to her resilience and independence, Fu Sihan began pursuing her.
As Shen Nian found success in both her career and love life, the mystery of her birth gradually came to light. She was, in fact, the long-lost daughter of the wealthy Shen family, who had now sent people to claim her. But when her adoptive parents learned the truth, they tried to use family ties to manipulate Shen Nian and swindle a huge sum from the Shen family. Faced with their betrayal, Shen Nian struck back decisively and cut ties with them.
Meanwhile, Lin Yue saw that Shen Nian had not only bounced back but was flourishing more than ever. Consumed by jealousy, she kept resorting to underhanded tricks. But with the intelligence and charm granted by the System, Shen Nian countered her brilliantly time and again. With Fu Sihan's support and help, Shen Nian overcame every obstacle in the entertainment industry, ultimately becoming a national idol. She also uncovered the long-hidden secret behind her birth and found the happy life she deserved.
