On the day of the empress's coronation ceremony, Empress Jiang Yao and Lin Qingqing, a woman who traveled from the modern world, unexpectedly swapped souls and were sent to the modern era. Over the next three years, trapped in an awkward and unfamiliar body, Jiang Yao fought desperately to improve herself. She rescued people from a fire, studied medicine, and learned business management, all to accumulate enough leverage to return to the imperial palace. Meanwhile, Xie Linyuan, the tyrant in the imperial capital who was obsessed with beauty, was determined to drive away the 'imposter' pretending to be her. When the truth finally came to light, she saw through him at last: his so-called deep affection was nothing more than an obsession with a face. She chose to let go and set him free, sending the person he was obsessed with to the place where he truly belonged. After overcoming countless trials, she was no longer anyone's supporting character, but the heroine in control of her own destiny.
