Gu Nuan works herself to death writing her thesis after surgery, then transmigrates into a book as a newborn baby who is destined to die.
After scrambling to save her life, the big boss changes targets: instead of killing her, he decides to wipe out her whole family ahead of schedule.
He arranges for a midwife to kill the baby, assassins to kill her eldest brother, a frame-up at court to accuse the Duke of Zhen of treason, and a scheme to lead her second brother astray.
These are all steps in the original story that eventually bring down the Duke of Zhen's household. In the original, the family is doomed to be torn apart and exiled a thousand miles away.
But after all those schemes, what comes instead is the baby and her family overcoming every crisis and rising to the top.
Even the emperor takes the baby's side.
Eldest Brother: "Little sister, look! These are the jewels His Majesty rewarded me with after our victory. I saved the very best one for you. Isn't it pretty?"
Second Brother: "Little sister, this chicken leg just came out of the pot. It's crispy and fragrant, but not greasy at all."
Crown Prince: "Call me Brother Yan. I'll give you anything you want."
Father: "Sweetheart, you don't have to eat, okay? If you're not hungry, then don't eat. Good girl."
Mother: "My Nuan Nuan is a gift from heaven."
Emperor: "Or maybe it wouldn't be so bad if you were my daughter. I wouldn't mind giving my empire to my darling girl."
Everyone: "In your dreams!"
