In 2024, tech company CEO Lu Xingyao makes a wish on a shooting star after a failed negotiation: "Give me a simpler life." When she opens her eyes again, she has become Shen Zhiyi, the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Personnel's household in 1824, and is being forced to marry a wastrel. At the same moment, in an ancient boudoir, Shen Zhiyi wishes on a shooting star: "Free me from this cage." She wakes up in a modern ICU, face-to-face with a talking "iron box" (a phone) and a strange woman who calls herself an "assistant." The matching shooting-star birthmarks on their right arms begin to burn, and the two realize they've swapped souls!

Lu Xingyao: "Your stepmother is withholding your allowance? Use KPI assessments to turn the servants against her!" "Your scumbag fiancé broke off the engagement? Draw a serial comic of him visiting brothels and make it public!" "Want to investigate your mother's death? Audit classes at the Imperial College and match wits with the Seventh Prince!"

Shen Zhiyi: "Workplace bullying? I'll use the Admonitions for Women to quote, 'I have heard that serving one's lord too often brings disgrace,' until the boss has no answer!" "Being harassed at a rich family's banquet? I'll amaze everyone by playing Guangling San and serving starlit tea!" "The company is under a hostile takeover? I'll turn the tables with the ancient strategy of forming alliances!"
When business savvy meets ancient household intrigues, and a young lady's wisdom takes on the modern business world, can two shooting stars light each other's way through the dislocated flow of time?
