Overworked office drone Pei Zhao transmigrates into the body of a down-and-out scholar in ancient times, making a living by setting up a street stall to sell calligraphy and paintings.
Luckily, she is still a woman. Though this world is set in ancient times, it is a matriarchal society where men can give birth.
She doesn't have to change sex, and she has gained her freedom, too.
Pei Zhao sincerely thanks the transmigration gods. Just as she's about to enjoy the carefree life of a lazy person she hasn't had in ages, the eldest son of the Prime Minister's household breaks off their engagement.
Before she can even figure out what's going on, a carriage kidnaps her and takes her to the Grand Princess's residence.
Legend has it that the Grand Princess was appointed to assist with the government, wielded immense power at court, and was obsessed with women, delighting in ruining the reputations of respectable young ladies...
Pei Zhao clutches herself in terror.
