The heroine, an engineering student, got into a car accident on her way home and unexpectedly transmigrated into a book as the third young lady of the Ye family: a sweet-looking, playful girl with no golden finger and a tragic ending.
Li Nanjia was straightforward, and her sharp tongue often got her into trouble. Everyone knew the Ye family's children were talented and capable, but there was one exception.
When she was a little girl, she met a low-ranking prince in the Cold Palace and accidentally saved him.
The boy was covered in wounds and spoke little. After a long while, he finally asked, "Who are you?"
Seeing him like that, Li Nanjia joked, "Someone who came to love you."
After that, the boy's heart stirred, and he fell for her in secret, all the while feeling unworthy of her.
They met again during the Lantern Festival. The boy had grown into a graceful young man. From a jade pendant, Xiao Heng unexpectedly learned the identity of the girl who had saved him in the Cold Palace all those years ago.
Li Nanjia ran over to snatch it back, putting on a fierce expression as she said, "Give me back my jade pendant."
Xiao Heng raised a hand to keep it out of her reach. His voice was cold, with a trace of disdain as he asked, "Where did you get this?"
"It's mine," she said with righteous indignation.
After they grew close, they watched a performance from a terrace. Seeing the one in her heart, the young man unexpectedly grew jealous.
Li Nanjia watched, somewhat entranced, and said without thinking, "The Crown Prince really is just like the rumors say."
Xiao Heng turned his gaze back to her and said coldly, "He wouldn't give you the time of day."
The girl held back her anger and met his eyes, asking slowly, "Why?"
The boy didn't spare her feelings. "Because you're ugly."
Li Nanjia's eyes widened. She immediately rushed over and raised her hand to hit him.
Later, when her father failed to report the people's plight, the heroine grew anxious and went to the palace to plead for help. As it happened, a severe flood had broken out in Linzhou. The emperor thought it over, then issued an order for her to go with the young man to provide disaster relief.
Li Nanjia had been an engineering student, and her heart leaped with joy. "Now this is right up my alley."
Once the flooding was dealt with, Li Nanjia seized the opportunity to become a savior in the eyes of the people. News of the people's affairs spread far and wide, eventually reaching the emperor's ears.
Delighted, His Majesty rewarded the entire Ye family and bestowed a title upon Li Nanjia.
Thus, Li Nanjia turned her tragic script around and changed her fate.
