[Straightforward girl who transmigrates twice vs. a cunning reborn prince]
Policewoman Su Ying accidentally transmigrates to the Wu Dynasty and becomes an infant girl.
After years of searching for a way back, she meets Hua Ziyin, a transmigrated supporting actress trapped inside the novel she abandoned. When she learns that the real Chen Mei has long been dead, she tries to kill herself and return to her soul. To her surprise, it works. One moment she's bent over her desk, hard at work in the office; the next, she's back in the Wu Dynasty.

They say Chen Mei turned misfortune into fortune: before she could draw her last breath, she was wed in a ghost marriage to the recently deceased Prince Chen Nan. Who could have guessed that the bride and groom would both come back to life during the funeral wedding ceremony?
Just like that, the little-known adopted daughter of a minor duke's household becomes the envy of everyone, a princess consort to the regent.
But Chen Mei isn't happy about it. "Who was it?! Who summoned me back this time?"

The imperial court is in turmoil. As the current emperor's young uncle, Nalan Wenran bears great responsibility, assisting with the affairs of state under the late emperor's decree.
He endures humiliation and bides his time, plotting to bring down corrupt ministers. To avoid involving the innocent, he has never taken a princess consort.
Handsome and charming, he is the dream lover of the noble young ladies of the capital. The powerful have worn down the threshold of his princely residence, but he has never agreed to marry.
Then a powerful minister poisons him to death. When he wakes again, he is dressed in wedding robes, the hall around him festooned in red, and a delicate young woman is lying beside him.
Reborn, he still doesn't want to drag an innocent person into his troubles. He means to divorce her so she can find a better match, but one look at her on their wedding night leaves him smitten. He hesitates.
