Lin Ruoruo has it rough: she transmigrates into the body of a merchant's daughter who is hopelessly lovesick. For the sake of the man she loves, the original owner not only gave him the entire family fortune for free, but also spread rumors everywhere that the legitimate son of the marquis's household, to whom she was betrothed as a child, suffered from a hidden ailment. She made a huge fuss, crying and throwing tantrums to demand that the engagement be called off. Before it could even be broken, she had already ruined herself to death. Meanwhile, the marquis's son returned as a great general, with a sweetheart of his own.
The General: She's just a greedy woman. Go, give her fifty thousand taels of silver. She'll surely call off the engagement!
The General's sweetheart: Dream on! Have you even looked in the mirror? What makes you think you're worthy of my Brother Yi?
The Scumbag: Little Sister Lin, my family's business is short on cash. Could you lend me some more silver?
Younger Brother: Are you really my elder sister? Are you really going to stop wasting our money?
Lin Ruoruo: I won't waste it anymore. I'll make sure you and Mother live well!
To get the Lin family's property back, Lin Ruoruo puts on a sugary, calculating act.
To protect her business, Lin Ruoruo has no choice but to take action against the women the general cares about.
The General: Since you drove them away, you'll have to make it up to me by becoming my wife...
