In their past lives as business arch-rivals, Jiang Yuanqing and Su Nongyu both time-traveled to Dayong after a plane crash. Overnight, their social statuses differ vastly: Jiang Yuanqing ascends to the throne as the Empress of the Middle Palace, while Su Nongyu is relegated to the low position of a Noble Lady. To prevent her arch-rival from staging a comeback, she uses all sorts of tricks to step on her step-by-step, punishing her with labor, setting up appearance traps, and cleverly using a parrot to toy with her opponent. Layer upon layer of schemes completely pins her down, driving her past arch-rival completely insane.
