When I transmigrated into the body of Shen Wanrou, the unloved second daughter of an official censor's household, she was being dragged away by her ruthless stepmother, Qin Murong, to be given to a high-ranking court official as a concubine. On the way, they unexpectedly encountered a speeding carriage. Shen Wanrou was struck and killed by the carriage of the spoiled young lady Mu Ranyue while trying to save Madam Qin.
When Shen Wanrou awoke, Ouyang Ming's personal guard, Liu Yan, forcibly took her to Ouyang Mingyue's residence to “help out.” This so-called help meant pretending to be Ouyang Mingyue's lover to drive away Mu Ranyue, the cousin who wouldn't leave Ouyang Mingyue alone. From then on, Mu Ranyue held a grudge against Shen Wanrou.
