Wu Meiniang is brought back to the palace by Empress Wang. Though she is always careful to keep her head down and does her best to please the empress, Consort Xiao sees her as a thorn in her side. Using the excuse of viewing the ominous lone star, Consort Xiao invites the entire harem to watch the stars in the imperial garden, then secretly orders a maid to push Wu Meiniang into the water. At that very moment, Wu Meiniang, a 21st-century office worker, nearly drowns.
As the stars shift, Wu Meiniang transmigrates into the modern era and becomes an office worker. She uses what she learned in the harem to rise through the ranks at work, attracting the attention of many handsome men along the way.

The title of Wu Cai Ren was given to Wu Meiniang during Li Shimin's time, and she was not a Cai Ren during Li Zhi's time.
