Ruan An’an, a modern woman who died from overwork while adapting a novel, transmigrates into the body of the novel’s tragic female lead on her wedding night. The original owner was deceived by her husband’s family into allowing her widowed sister-in-law, Su Qingyue, to bear her husband’s child to continue the family line. Ruan An’an immediately rejects this scheme, splashing tea on her fiancé Xu Yanli and demanding the withdrawal of their marriage application. She reveals she possesses a mysterious space hidden within a jade bracelet, which grants her storage and teleportation abilities, along with a vast arsenal of weapons and supplies inherited from her father’s research.
Ruan An’an outsmarts the Xu family, who had conspired to steal her dowry and ruin her reputation. She uses her space to punish Wang the Cripple, a neighbor hired to assault her, by teleporting him into a pigpen where he is mauled. She then exposes the affair between Xu Yanli and Su Qingyue to the neighborhood and militia, leading to their arrest for disrupting a military marriage. During this process, she discovers a gold marriage certificate belonging to her and Xu Yancheng, the eldest Xu son who was presumed dead but is actually a regiment commander.
Seeking protection and leverage, Ruan An’an visits the Zhou family, allies of her late mother. She provides medicine for the ailing Zhou Huai’an and advises the Zhou brothers to surrender some assets to the authorities to ensure their safety during the upcoming political turmoil. She then travels to the military district, where she is received warmly by the political commissar. Learning that Xu Yancheng is alive and highly decorated, she decides to claim her position as his legitimate wife to secure her safety and crush the Xu family’s schemes. The story concludes with Ruan An’an preparing to meet her fiancé, armed with her space’s resources and the support of her allies, ready to reclaim her life and exact revenge on those who wronged her.
