Ye Chutang, a powerhouse from the 23rd-century post-apocalyptic world, transmigrates into the body of a legitimate eldest daughter who was abandoned in the countryside for fifteen years. The original host, neglected by her father, the Minister of Revenue, was murdered by her caretakers who planned to sell her into prostitution. Upon waking, Ye Chutang uses her martial arts skills to kill the perpetrators and accidentally encounters Qi Yanzhou, a powerful man suffering from a lethal fire poison. She uses him as an antidote to neutralize a drugged broth forced upon her by the deceased caretakers and later helps suppress his poison with a pill from her spatial ability. After setting fire to the estate to destroy evidence, she returns to the capital to reclaim her birthright.
Back in the Minister's Mansion, Ye Chutang confronts her father, Ye Jingchuan, and stepmother, Kong Ru. She discovers that her father brought her back not out of familial love, but to use her as a substitute bride for a powerful eunuch, as his preferred daughter, Ye Anling, refused the match. Ye Chutang negotiates twenty thousand taels of silver as compensation for her return and asserts her dominance within the household. She systematically dismantles the spy network planted by her stepmother, punishing disloyal servants and securing the allegiance of key staff members like the maid Shan'er, who reveals the family's internal secrets.
Throughout the early chapters, Ye Chutang leverages her spatial ability to hoard resources, including thirty thousand catties of wheat from the family warehouse, and uses spiritual spring water to enhance her physical condition and win over the local villagers. She maintains a facade of compliance while secretly planning her revenge against those who wronged the original host. Her interactions with her father are marked by sharp wit and financial demands, exposing his greed and hypocrisy to the household staff and villagers.
The narrative establishes Ye Chutang as a formidable opponent who refuses to be a victim. She navigates the complex politics of the Minister's Mansion with calculated ruthlessness, turning the household's spies into loyal servants and securing her position. The story sets the stage for her eventual confrontation with the eunuch and her father's schemes, as she prepares to expose their crimes and reclaim her mother's dowry, which her father has misappropriated.
Ye Chutang's journey involves mastering her new environment while retaining her apocalyptic survival instincts. She balances the need to integrate into ancient society with her desire for vengeance, using her knowledge of medicine, martial arts, and spatial storage to gain an advantage over her enemies. The introduction of Qi Yanzhou, who remains a mysterious figure connected to her past, adds an element of intrigue to her political and familial struggles.
As the homecoming banquet approaches, tensions rise within the Ye family. Ye Chutang's refusal to submit to her stepmother's authority and her father's attempts to control her marriage prospects create a volatile atmosphere. She continues to gather information and resources, preparing for the challenges that lie ahead in the capital's elite circles.
The story highlights Ye Chutang's transformation from an abandoned village girl to a confident and powerful matriarch-in-waiting. Her actions demonstrate a strategic mind that prioritizes survival and retribution, setting the foundation for her rise in status and her eventual downfall of the corrupt officials who exploited her mother's legacy.
