Li Zhaohua, a twenty-eight-year-old corporate drone and designer in the modern era, dropped dead at her desk.
The King of Hell told her she had sixty years left to live.
She could either return to the modern world and keep working as a corporate drone and designer,
or go back to the Qi Kingdom and become eighteen-year-old Li Zhaohua, the second daughter of the Marquis of Zhenyuan's household.
As she hesitated, Li Zhaohua learned that her ex-boyfriend had posted her nude photos in a group chat.
He bragged smugly, "Got her, bros! Anyone else want a copy? Five hundred each!"
"I told you, orphans like her are the easiest to get with. Treat her a little nicely and she'll cling to you like a dog."
Then a client messaged her, "If you don't send the designs in the next ten minutes, I'll file a complaint!"
Li Zhaohua steeled herself and chose to try a different kind of life.
Li Zhaohua grew up in an orphanage and had never known the warmth of a family.
But the whole Marquis of Zhenyuan's household showered her with the very best love.
And then there was Emperor Xiao Yanche, who went from being high above her to kissing her every day.
It was all a little too happy. Was it really okay to be this happy?
Sure enough, the little bird System had come along with Li Zhaohua.
If she completed the one hundred tasks given by the System, she could save her whole family.
Otherwise, three years later, the entire household of the Marquis of Zhenbei would be executed.
The System forced her to do all kinds of evil things, like push people into the water and slap them,
and forbade her from falling in love with the male lead, Xiao Yanche.
Dare she refuse? She would have to watch her family die.
If she obeyed? The emperor would despise her, and her family would misunderstand her.
Li Zhaohua stood trapped between the two choices, struggling to decide.
"I have to obey. I must save my whole family!"
"I shouldn't have fallen in love with the emperor."
"But I really have fallen for him, just a little."
