Everyone thinks Xu Sicheng is an idiot.

Before her family went bankrupt, people treated her like a gullible fool. Afterward, they all took turns kicking her while she was down, and even people with no grudge against her took pride in badmouthing her.

When a stranger gave her a bottle of water, she was so grateful she nearly cried, thinking there were still good people in the world. But that so-called good person sold her to an uninhabited grassland.

Yet someone couldn't stop thinking about her, believing she was the purest, kindest, and rarest treasure in the world.

If she was a treasure, then only three people in the auction house would ever raise their hands to bid for her, because they were biased in her favor and saw her differently from everyone else.
