The young and successful CEO Liu Xi is a capitalist at work and a playboy in his personal life. He often belittles women, causing much distress and harm to the women around him, yet remains unaware of his behavior.
One day, an unexpected accident occurs, and Liu Xi's soul is transported into the strict household of a marquis, where he becomes Liu Xi Zhao, a young lady who is bullied by various forces within the household due to her high-status marriage. Liu Xi Zhao's husband is Lu Shao Yang, the frivolous fourth son of the Changping Marquis household.
Liu Xi Zhao, with his modern scoundrel mindset, clashes with the ancient playboy Lu Shao Yang. He shocks Lu Shao Yang with his bold and unconventional actions. Before Liu Xi Zhao can adjust to his new identity, his mother-in-law drags him off to learn the household rules.
In his eagerness to return to his old life, Liu Xi Zhao defies the marquis household's rules, leading to his house arrest. Trapped in the back courtyard, Liu Xi Zhao is forced to endure the oppressive patriarchal customs and begins to understand the difficulties of being a woman.
