Le Taotao, creative director at an entertainment company, gets divorced and leaves with nothing. She wants to buy a System and be reborn, but by an unlikely twist of fate, she transmigrates into the body of a beautiful yet lowly laundry maid in the residence of the legitimate princess of Wu, in the Spring and Autumn period.
The legitimate princess is about to be married. She chooses Le Taotao as her trial-marriage maid and sends her to live with her future husband, to assess his various "qualifications." The result? The groom falls in love with Le Taotao at first sight.
After the legitimate princess marries the groom, he refuses to consummate the marriage, claiming to be ill. As Le Taotao is one of the concubines sent along as part of the bride's entourage, the princess grows jealous of her and subjects her to humiliation and abuse.
But who exactly is Le Taotao?
A former high-flying office worker at an entertainment company, she's sharp-witted and socially adept as long as romance isn't involved. Even under attack in the princess's residence, she manages to turn danger into opportunity and thrive.
She's all too familiar with the cutthroat games of office politics.
"You want to harm me? Fine! I'll steal your man in no time and make you marry into another kingdom! Why don't you divorce the groom, huh?"
After that, helping the groom return to his homeland, become king, and conquer the other states is a piece of cake for Le Taotao.
Once a woman who had lost her marriage, job, and prospects, she finally rises from the ashes. But will she choose to become the mother of the realm, or complete the System's mission and return home?
Le Taotao is torn.
And as she falls in love with the groom, she discovers that the best kind of love isn't about putting up with things or backing down, but about helping each other become better.
