To find the master who died saving her, Luo Xuening, leader of the Xuanmen Sect, returned to the mortal world. When she opened her eyes, she discovered that she had possessed the body of a mortal with the same fate as her own.
The mortal was named Xue Ning. She was the daughter of the richest family in Sucheng, the Luo family, but had been switched at birth. At her adoptive mother's home, she never had enough to eat or warm clothes to wear, and her adoptive mother treated her as a punching bag, beating and berating her whenever she was in a bad mood.
At long last, she was brought back to her family, only to be made to marry Luo Xueyan's badly injured and disabled fiance in place of the fake heiress, to bring him good luck.
The fake heiress was beautiful and kind, and everyone doted on her. Even her husband coldly warned Xue Ning to remember her place: only Luo Xueyan was qualified to be Mrs. Li.
In the end, surrounded by everyone's love, Luo Xueyan got her happy ending with Li Siming. Xue Ning was driven out of the house and died in a cold rental apartment.
When she woke up again, Xue Ning had become Luo Xuening, and time had returned to the day Xue Ning was brought home.
Luo Xuening was exasperated: We have the same fate, and you still managed to end up like this? You're so stupid, you might as well be dead!
On the first day in the house, Luo Xueyan timidly hid behind her adoptive brother. "Big sister looks so scary when she looks at me."
Luo Xuening: "Oh, there's a female ghost riding on your back. That's what I'm looking at."
On the second day in the house, Luo Xueyan's number one admirer stopped Luo Xuening. "If you dare bully Xueyan, I'll make you regret it."
Luo Xuening: "Oh, your family is about to go bankrupt. You can barely save yourself."
Li Siming's mother looked Luo Xuening up and down. "As a wife, you must know your place."
Luo Xuening: "Oh, your son has been cursed. It's anyone's guess whether he'll even live long enough for this lucky marriage to take place."
Wait! That little dumpling in the Li household, Li Siming's child who just turned one, seems a little familiar?
Remembering the merciless ruler her master had wielded when she was young, Luo Xuening hurried over to the Li household and held out her arms to the little dumpling. "Yanyan, come have a hug from your stepmother."
Li Yan, not yet one and still unable to speak clearly: "You traitorous disciple! Just you wait. When I grow up, I'll make you regret it!"
Bonus scenes:
One-year-old Li Yan: "You traitorous disciple! How dare you hurt someone for no reason?!"
Luo Xuening: "My adorable, baby-faced master is so cute when he's angry! I'll take a picture and show the other senior and junior disciples!"
Fourteen-year-old Li Yan: "My teacher is visiting tomorrow. Make sure you act normal."
Luo Xuening: "Teacher, my master... I mean, the child has been giving you trouble."
Twenty-year-old Li Yan: "I'm getting engaged tomorrow. You can try on the wedding dress for me."
Luo Xuening, wearing a wedding dress that fits perfectly: "Master... wasn't this the gift you gave me?"
Reading guide: 1. (Supernatural elements) Plot-driven, plot-driven, plot-driven (the important thing must be said three times). A top-tier powerhouse goes on a rampage in the newbie village.
2. Theatrical, willful disciple x frail master who can't take care of himself.
3. She won't fall in love while acting as a stepmother. She's simply raising the little dumpling. Romance comes later, after the female lead regains her original body.
