Gold-medal screenwriter Lin Wan stays up late finishing a script revision, only to open her eyes and find herself transmigrated into a cannon fodder legitimate daughter in a traditional courtyard-intrigue novel. Infatuated with the crown prince, the original owner was used as a pawn by her concubine-born sister Lin Rou, meeting a miserable end of confinement and ruined reputation. Armed with script-like plot foresight, Lin Wan sneers and flips the table, tearing apart the vicious concubine-born sister, intelligently dismissing the blind crown prince, and moving step by step with strategy in the Duke's estate using top-tier modern screenwriter tropes to reverse her cannon fodder destiny. Opening a rouge shop to make a fortune, she unexpectedly reaches an alliance with the ambitious Prince Jing, leveraging force to topple the crown prince's faction, stirring up the political arena, and transforming from an abandoned pawn nobody cared about into an empress wielding power over the imperial court.
