Gu Ting, a recent college graduate and orphan, wakes up in a luxury hotel suite after enduring a year-long nightmare. She had been trapped in a transmigration cycle, forced to inhabit 365 different bodies and die in grotesque ways, ranging from being skinned as a demon to drowning in fish soup. Just as she faced another death, a system awarded her a gacha prize that returned her to her original body in the modern world, inhabiting the body of a woman who shared her name. This host body was in severe financial distress, owing five million yuan to loan sharks after her ex-boyfriend, Li Xingzhou, scammed her into taking out the debt and then vanished. Gu Ting, possessing a resilient psyche and a dark sense of humor, immediately begins to navigate her new reality with ruthless pragmatism.
Her first encounter is with Wang Mingxiao, a wealthy man who had arranged a hotel meeting with the fake Gu Ting to resolve her debts. Gu Ting quickly diagnoses his erectile dysfunction based on memories from her time as an old physician and offers him a secret prescription in exchange for one million yuan. Wang Mingxiao, grateful for her discretion and the potential cure, agrees and transfers the money, adding a bonus for her sharpness. This transaction provides Gu Ting with her initial capital, allowing her to pay off a portion of the debt and secure her immediate survival. She then encounters Luo Yuan, her manager at Cheng Gong Media, who attempts to manipulate her into engaging in suggestive streaming to clear her debts. Gu Ting sees through his hypocrisy and refuses, instead choosing to report her ex-boyfriend to the police for fraud.
The narrative takes a sharp turn as Gu Ting discovers an inexplicable, supernatural luck that seems to follow her everywhere. While walking through her dilapidated new apartment, she finds two million yuan in cash hidden in a burlap sack hanging from the ceiling. Later, while reporting a crime, she stumbles upon two fugitives on a wanted list; they incapacitate themselves through a series of absurd accidents involving a banana peel and a tree trunk, allowing Gu Ting to capture them and claim a hundred thousand yuan bounty. Her luck extends to online platforms as well. During a live stream where she is merely eating noodles, she joins a lucky draw in another streamer's room and wins a house. When challenged by netizens to win six consecutive draws, she succeeds, winning cash prizes in every single attempt, which brings her sudden fame and a massive influx of followers.
Despite her windfalls, Gu Ting remains focused on dismantling the traps set by those who exploited the previous owner of her body. She confronts her manager, Luo Yuan, and the company president, Wan, who is revealed to be a manipulative figure. She also meets Cheng Xiaoxin, the wealthy woman involved in a car accident with the taxi she was riding in, which leads to a chance encounter with President Wan and sets the stage for future conflicts. Gu Ting's journey is defined by her refusal to be a victim; she uses her medical knowledge, her sharp wit, and her inexplicable good fortune to turn every misfortune into an opportunity. As she settles into her new life, she begins to build a network of allies and enemies, determined to clear her name, repay her debts, and ensure that no one can ever torment her again. The story establishes a tone of comedic retribution and supernatural serendipity, as Gu Ting navigates the entertainment industry and the criminal underworld with equal ease.
