The story starts out lighthearted and funny. The heroine is a downtrodden office drone, a contract worker in the civil service earning just 2,500 a month and working 996 with no days off all year. After transmigrating into the body of a wealthy family's legitimate daughter, she finds herself surrounded by lovable fools, while she alone has a clear head. She wants to make money, but not at the cost of her life. What's wrong with earning money while taking it easy? She isn't opposed to romance, either, but that comes at an extra price. Why must she choose? She wants both the man and the money!
If you don't laugh in Chapters One and Two, I'll spin in circles a hundred times. Just kidding about the first two chapters.
Su, a legitimate daughter from a distant branch of the family, loses her twin brother and takes his place at court, where she sets about giving the workplace a thorough shake-up. But as a woman with little standing in court, she has no idea what she's up against.
He is the cold-faced prince with the greatest talent in all of the Tang Dynasty: the very Prince of Qi who was often seen at the Qi Prince's residence. He has no interest in the workplace and just likes throwing parties. A top-ranking big spender, he tosses money around wherever he goes. It's a joy to follow along and pick it up.
After he saves her life, she grabs onto his coattails and melts the ice around his heart. Little does she know that he is the man who killed her brother... Revenge, or money?
