Wen Shuqiao, a former orphan who survived by running a food social media account, transmigrates into the body of a minor villain in a novel she read the night before. She awakens holding a three-year-old child named Shen Shiyue, known as Can Can, who is the novel's male lead. In the original story, this aunt neglected and abused Can Can, leading to his traumatic childhood in an orphanage before he was rescued by his uncle, Shen Jiazhou. Wen Shuqiao realizes she has inherited the original host's debts, a failing career as a washed-up internet celebrity, and a reputation for cruelty. Determined to alter her fate and survive, she decides to care for Can Can genuinely until his uncle retrieves him, after which she plans to leave for a peaceful life elsewhere.
Can Can, having suffered abuse and starvation at the hands of the original host, is initially terrified of Wen Shuqiao. He believes she will eventually send him away and lives in constant anxiety, only finding comfort in a mysterious voice in his head called the System. The System is assigned to guide the male lead toward his destined path: reuniting with his powerful uncle, Shen Jiazhou. However, the System is frustrated by Can Can's rapid attachment to Wen Shuqiao, whom it identifies as a dangerous obstacle to the plot. Despite the System's warnings that Wen Shuqiao is using "sugar-coated bullets" to manipulate the child, Can Can finds her kindness genuine, especially after she takes him to the hospital when he falls ill with a fever and buys him new clothes and food.
Wen Shuqiao faces immediate financial pressure, as the original host has only thirty thousand yuan left and owes rent on an expensive apartment. She terminates her restrictive contract with her agent, Xu Feng, and refuses to appease Young Master Zhao, a wealthy man who had previously harassed the original host. Instead, she moves to a cheaper apartment and begins planning to set up a street food stall to support herself and Can Can. Her life changes when Can Can accidentally posts a video of himself eating chicken on her food account. The video goes viral due to his cuteness, bringing sudden attention and potential income. Wen Shuqiao declines advertising offers involving Can Can, prioritizing his well-being over quick profit, which further confuses the System.
Meanwhile, Shen Jiazhou, the head of the Shen Corporation and Can Can's uncle, is unaware that the child he has been searching for is being cared for by the woman he despises. His assistant, Lin Yan, discovers photos of Wen Shuqiao with Can Can and reports them, noting the child's resemblance to the Shen family. Shen Jiazhou continues his search, driven by the need to find his brother's only remaining bloodline. The narrative sets up a collision course between Wen Shuqiao's quiet efforts to build a stable life and the looming arrival of the powerful uncle who will ultimately take Can Can away, forcing Wen Shuqiao to confront the consequences of her transmigration and the changing dynamics of her relationship with the child.
