Food streamer Shen Mingzhu transmigrates into a retro-era novel as a vicious stepmother, becoming a direct foil to her kindhearted neighbor, Shen Baolan.
Shen Baolan is virtuous and gentle, treating her stepson as her own. The original Shen Mingzhu, however, is sharp-tongued and abusive toward hers.
As a result, Shen Baolan lives a peaceful retirement with her successful stepson, while Shen Mingzhu dies tragically, burned alive by her twisted and vengeful stepson.
Determined to rewrite her fate, Shen Mingzhu rolls up her sleeves and gets to work on turning things around.

The man she’s about to marry will die in half a year, leaving her a penniless widow with a miserable life. Meanwhile, Shen Mingzhu, having married the right man, becomes a rich and envied lady.
Both of them are from the same village and married as stepmothers—why should Shen Mingzhu get to live a better life?
Driven by jealousy, Shen Baolan schemes to marry Shen Mingzhu’s man and claim her good fortune.
