Before the Soul Transmigration (Lin Wan): Born in an ordinary working-class family, her parents' only expectation is that she can "get into a good employer." Her life is a long exam, from being a question maker in a small town to getting a master's degree from a prestigious school.

The original owner was the daughter of a civil servant who was convicted of the Literary Prison. She was imprisoned in the palace and died due to being overwhelmed.
