Hardworking, capable, talented, beautiful, and peerless, Liu Lanzhi ends up cast off by a petty official's family!

During their marriage, she and her husband spend little time together. Her widowed mother-in-law forces Liu Lanzhi to become a divorced wife!

Before Liu Lanzhi has even left home, her mother-in-law is already looking for a new bride for her son!

After Liu Lanzhi returns to her family as a cast-off wife, suitors immediately line up at her door.

Fortunately, her husband isn't a spineless mama's boy.

After they die together for love, Liu Lanzhi looks forward to a spectacular rebirth.

“I was a cast-off wife in one life, a pair of mandarin ducks in another, and a tree with entwined branches in a third. In my next life, I'll be the heroine!”

She makes the declaration, then drinks a fake bowl of Meng Po's soup. What's with that doting smile from the King of Hell?

And so, “At thirteen, she could weave silk; at fourteen, she learned to cut and sew; at fifteen, she played the konghou; at sixteen, she recited poetry and books.” Liu Lanzhi is reborn with a golden finger!

She understands the language of birds and can diagnose and treat illnesses. With a single touch, she can make exquisite Han-style clothing.

She can play the konghou and recite poetry and books. This top student grows into a business tycoon, determined to make a powerful comeback and reclaim her place!
