Wang Yueting was an unloved concubine-born daughter in a wealthy family. With no power or influence, making a name for herself seemed impossible. When she happened to hear that the Nanyang Prince’s heir was gravely ill and selecting a bride to accompany him in death, she planned to end her own life and become his sacrificial bride, hoping to secure a way out for her mother.
Along the way, she came across the body of Shen Hui, a government official’s daughter. Penniless, Wang Yueting took off her jewelry. After putting on a ring, she sensed the presence of a ring spirit and struck a deal with it.
The ring spirit promised to help her save the heir. But before Wang Yueting, who only wanted to make a little money, could act, she ran into Nangong Yu, a concubine-born son of the prince, who ruined her dream of becoming the heir’s wife. With her mind set on earning money, Wang Yueting had no choice but to embark on the path of becoming a female official.
