Xiao Yun transmigrates, and before she can even wrap her head around it, she's running for her life!
It turns out the original owner's father plans to sell her as a concubine to a notorious landowner to pay for his sons' weddings. Her mother knows it would be a living hell, so she secretly helps her escape.
The original owner flees in the middle of the night to seek help from her childhood friend, Yuan Kongqing. A few days later, news arrives that her father accidentally beat her mother to death. Overcome with rage, the original owner dies, and that's when the modern-day Xiao Yun takes over.
One slip of the tongue nearly gives Xiao Yun away, but she's quick enough with a lie to bluff her way through.
Yuan Kongqing: Really?
On the run, Xiao Yun decides her childhood friend is kind, but also a little crazy. He helps her set fires, steal and bury the original owner's mother's body, and play tricks on rich families...
