After making a crazy wish, Judie Willard realizes that wishes do come true.
After receiving a project to write on the ancient Chinese empire, Judie can't seem to get it straight. In frustration, she wishes that she could go back in time to find out about the ancient China. But what Judie doesn't expect, is to actually wake up in the Xu Mansion—The house of a very reputable family in Wind City.
But what's even worse, is that Judie has to be married to the crown price, Xue Qianxun, who may or may not hate her. Going against all odds, he marries Judie who is now known as Xu Quingyan.
But when her husband invites in another concubine, and throws her to the side, Xu Quingyan is left to think. Will she stand still and watch herself become a side character, or will she fight as the empress that she is?
