Wei Yingying feels the world spin around her. When she opens her eyes again, she finds herself in a simple room, surrounded by things that are both old-fashioned and unfamiliar. Before she can figure out what is happening, a sharp pain grips her abdomen. Then she hears the midwife cry out in alarm, "Push, Madam Wei! The baby is almost here!" Only then does Wei Yingying realize that she has transmigrated into Madam Wei from The Story of Minglan, right in the middle of a life-threatening labor.
Relying on her iron will and refusal to give up, Wei Yingying grits her teeth and perseveres. At last, a loud cry cuts through the tension in the room, and her daughter, Sheng Minglan, is born safely. Looking at the baby's rosy little face, Wei Yingying silently vows that in this life, she will protect herself and her daughter and rewrite their fate.
Newly delivered, Wei Yingying is weak, but she dares not let her guard down. She knows how treacherous Lin Qinshuang is and that she will never let them go easily. So, forcing herself to carry on, Wei Yingying starts making plans for the future. On one hand, she uses her modern knowledge to teach Cui Yu, one of the maids around her, some simple ways to maintain health and recuperate, asking her to prepare ingredients so she can slowly regain her strength. On the other hand, she keeps an eye on everything happening in the residence, looking for a chance to build a good relationship with Sheng Hong and secure more room to survive for herself and her daughter.
