[Plot-Driven] [Taking Down Villains] [Political Intrigue] [Household Battles] [Ensemble Cast]
Yu Wan was a cannon-fodder concubine-born daughter in a storybook. After someone pushed her down the stairs, she slept for three years.
During those three years, a special agent took over her body. Using Yu Wan's body, the agent killed the wretched relatives she despised and gathered plenty of admirers.
The agent was carefree and decisive, knew how to make firearms, and could run a merchants' guild. She was nothing like the Yu Wan of old, or any woman in the Great Sheng Dynasty.
So Yu Wan's family recognized the difference, and so did her friends. This was not the Yu Wan they knew.
But Yu Wan's friends were strange. They said they would help her get her body back, but Yu Wan waited and waited.
She waited until her former fiance went from a poor scholar to the chief grand secretary. She waited until her childhood friend's elder brother broke his leg and became the heir to a marquis's estate. She waited until the crown prince, who had promised to repay Yu Wan for saving his life, went from mediocre and useless to being revered by the people of the realm.
She waited until every one of her relatives had died, and outsiders called her uncaring and cold-hearted, saying her father had disowned her.
She waited until the transmigrator used her body to become involved with an enemy prince whose family had slaughtered her maternal grandfather's entire family.
Just before their wedding, Yu Wan finally returned. In the wake of a murder case, she sheepishly crawled back to the capital seeking protection.
At first, the capital thought a wisteria vine eager to climb high had returned, and watched her with amusement.
But then the people who had spent time with her began dying one after another in bizarre circumstances. Only then did they realize that what they had brought back was a strangler fig.
