After a car accident, Qi Longxue is reborn as the daughter of an official family, with a father who shows her no affection and a frail mother.
Half a year after her mother dies, her father takes her mother's younger half-sister as his new wife, claiming that the child is too young to be left without anyone to care for her.
The new wife neither pays Qi Longxue any attention nor scolds her. She simply lets the girl grow up on her own.
And so Qi Longxue grows up in a quiet courtyard. When she turns eighteen, the new wife's daughter is ready to be betrothed, and only then does the family remember that there is still an eldest daughter living in a distant courtyard.
The Qi family has no choice but to hold their noses and find the eldest daughter a match first.
Before anything is settled, Qi Longxue wakes from a nap to find herself lying in a bed with embroidered quilts.
A pair of delicate hands draw open the bed curtains, and a female official asks gently, "Your Highness, are you ready to get up?"
Qi Longxue: "?" I've transmigrated again?

The Crown Princess of the current dynasty, Xiao Shaoyin, was personally chosen by Empress Guangqing as her worthy heir. She was made Crown Princess at the age of five, and is unmatched in status and honor.
But after growing up, Her Highness the Crown Princess became a notorious wastrel in the capital. She chased cats and dogs, frequented houses of pleasure, called a deer a horse, brawled with gangs, and even killed officials. She committed every kind of evil and was entirely unfit to inherit the throne.
Then one day, Xiao Shaoyin opens her eyes to a coarse cloth canopy, a faint medicinal scent rising from the quilt on her body.
A young maid is slumped beside the bed. Hearing her stir, the maid raises her head and says, "Miss, you're finally awake! They still won't change their minds. They want you to marry him as his second wife!"
Xiao Shaoyin: "What did you say?"
The maid thinks her mistress has been driven mad and bursts into tears. A commotion breaks out outside the door. Xiao Shaoyin leaps out of bed and cracks her knuckles.
Well, if she wasn't going to them, they'd come right to her.
The farce ends when Qi Longxue, now wearing the Crown Princess's face, arrives. The real Crown Princess holds her own against a whole harem of lovers.
When the two stand face to face, they finally realize that they have swapped souls: the Crown Princess and the poor little thing have switched places!

At first, Xiao Shaoyin scowls. "Could you stop making that face with my face?"
Qi Longxue, tending to her wounds, looks bewildered. "Huh? What face?"
Xiao Shaoyin: "...Forget it. I'll treat my own wounds. Go stand over there."
Qi Longxue: "Oh." She stands off to one side, hands tucked into her sleeves like a demure little wife.
Xiao Shaoyin: "..." Her headache gets worse.
Later, Xiao Shaoyin sits outside the room with a pillow in her arms. "Longxue, is there anyone else you hate?"
Qi Longxue's voice comes through the door: "I hate you most. You have no self-control."
