Xiao Yunzhu was an orphaned noblewoman living in the He residence while awaiting her marriage. However, her fiancé, He Baoyan, and Chen Chunsi joined forces to pressure her into accepting a concubine. She seized the opportunity to break off the engagement, exposed their pregnancy scandal in return, and used the transmigrator's storybooks, her Qing Xiaozi alias, and her connections among noblewomen to turn her fortunes around. From breaking off her engagement with the He family to returning to the Xiao residence to contend with Cui Niang and forging ties with the princess's household, she no longer allows marriage to define her life. Instead, she learns to turn the transmigrator's novel ideas into weapons and sources of wealth.
