Becoming a Socialite in the Republic of China

Gu Shuyao, a translator proficient in multiple foreign languages, finds herself transported to the Republic of China era after a car accident. She becomes Gu Shuyao, a young lady from a gentry family with a good background and pleasant appearance. She is also engaged to a dashing and promising young marshal. At first glance, she seems to be a winner in life!

However, Gu Shuyao’s new life is far from perfect. The original, born into a declining traditional family, faces conservative and ignorant attitudes. She was almost subjected to foot binding and has nothing in common with the sophisticated socialites of the foreign concessions. Her fiancé looks down on her, surrounded by other women, mocking her for her feudal mindset and lack of worldly experience. Even when she becomes pregnant, he refuses to marry her. His confidante flaunts their relationship in front of her, speaking in foreign languages.
