Shu Yan: Building a career is far more worthwhile than scheming against your own family. Why bother with household intrigue in the modern age?
As an exceptionally beautiful university student in the 1980s with a bright future ahead of her, Shu Yan was the belle of the neighborhood.
Until she discovered that she was living inside a period novel about a reborn heroine.
The heroine in the book was her niece, three years younger than her, and Shu Yan was the heroine's unconventional aunt!
Shu Yan counted them off on her fingers: a biased father, a timid mother, a selfish older brother and sister-in-law, a reborn niece with bad intentions, and troublesome neighbors everywhere.

Shu Yan quickly moved out. Then she wrote novels and, in doing so, wrote herself a glorious future.
While her niece was busy dealing with one awful person after another, Shu Yan admired flowers and drank tea in her sprawling courtyard, with her impossibly handsome husband by her side.
