After her death, Liu Yunshuang discovers that her world is a novel, and she is the villainous aunt who abuses the female lead, Xu Zhiwei, her niece. In her previous life, Liu Yunshuang's sister-in-law became pregnant out of wedlock, and her mother-in-law forced Liu Yunshuang to adopt Xu Zhiwei. Her husband, unable to defy his mother, brought Xu Zhiwei to be raised by Liu Yunshuang. However, because of Liu Yunshuang, her own three children died one after another. Due to her neglect of Xu Zhiwei, Liu Yunshuang was resented and ultimately met a tragic end on a rainy day. Meanwhile, Xu Zhiwei returned to her biological family, became the daughter of the richest man in the capital, married a powerful man, and lived a life of luxury.
Reborn in the 1980s, Liu Yunshuang unexpectedly obtains a mouthful of spiritual spring water and learns that Xu Zhiwei is not an ordinary child; she is the chosen female lead by the "system," possessing the protagonist's halo, always able to turn adversity into miracles. Looking at her three emaciated children, Liu Yunshuang decides she no longer wants to be a cannon fodder and promptly divorces her husband. She raises livestock, grows vegetables, opens a shop, plants fruit trees, and becomes prosperous. She drives away all the troublesome relatives and vows to take revenge on the female lead and her biological mother. Liu Yunshuang is determined to break free from the script and live her life on her own terms.
