Su Xiaolai, a genius of mystic arts, accidentally transmigrates into the body of the wealthy family's fake heiress, also named Su Xiaolai. Just as her adoptive parents kick her out, she finds herself penniless and down on her luck.
With no other way to make a living, Su Xiaolai applies for a job at a funeral home.

But as she went about resolving them, the fake heiress became a real big shot.
Her business grew more and more popular.
And the funeral home director before her, who never paid overtime and kept taking up her time off just to get her attention, turned out to be none other than her former fiance from the wealthy family in her predecessor's life.
Shen Xiaolai immediately put up a notice:
[Chatting outside work hours is charged at 100 yuan an hour, 250 yuan for three hours, and eight times the rate for a monthly package.]
Feng Chen immediately took out a gold card. "Then let's chat for the rest of our lives."
Su Xiaolai: ...
