An Lingrong, a modern woman, died unexpectedly and became bound to a System, transmigrating into a character from a TV drama who shared her name.
The System was designed for palace intrigue, but its approach was to keep her alive. Its mission was not exactly difficult, but neither was it simple: An Lingrong had to survive until the story's finale and successfully become the palace-intrigue champion and Empress Dowager.
To come back to life and return to the modern world, An Lingrong accepted the System's terms and set out to diligently complete her missions.
