After a car accident, modern-day Huo Changning transmigrates into the body of a good-for-nothing legitimate daughter of the Deyong Minister of Rites, who drowned in an accident.
The emperor had decreed her betrothal. She was supposed to be the Crown Princess!
But because her younger cousin likes the crown prince, her biased father forces her to switch places and give up her position as principal wife, demanding that she become the crown prince's concubine instead.
Whoever wants to be a concubine can do it. Huo Changning isn't about to be anyone's other woman! The modern Huo Changning writes a letter severing ties with her family on behalf of the original owner, then leaves.
Using funds from her maternal grandfather's Lin family, she buys a small house and just wants to lie flat for the rest of her life.
But before she can lie flat for more than a few days, the Living King of Hell unexpectedly barges into her life. After a twist of fate, she gets involved with the one man in Deyong she should never provoke.
She thinks of the powerful man as nothing more than a handsome eye-candy type and plans to sleep with him, then pull up her pants and run.
Despite all her attempts to escape, the Living King of Hell still catches her and drags her back to his lair.
