You Qingshuang transmigrates into the body of You Sanjie from Dream of the Red Chamber. She wants to change the tragic fate she suffered in the book, and begins plotting day and night as soon as she arrives. She learns embroidery and sells her work. Later, she meets the businesswoman Su Nishang, who recognizes her talent. The two join forces to open shops, acquire farmland, and throw themselves into building their business. She wears herself out worrying about the family. Through a mix of arguing and coaxing, she arranges for her mother to see just how shameless and despicable Jia Zhen and his son are, finally putting an end to her mother’s plans to marry into a powerful family. She keeps Second Sister from meeting Jia Zhen so she won’t be deceived. She initially plans to set Zhang Hua straight and make him mend his ways. But when it becomes clear that he is beyond redemption, she devises a way to help her sister break off the engagement. She barely has time to catch her breath before turning around to find that her love-struck Second Sister has gotten involved with Jia Lian! Third Sister is about ready to explode, but fortunately, Heaven is on her side: the Jia family is confiscated! As for her, she keeps running into Liu Xianglian while doing business, and all she wants is to stay as far away from him as possible. A man who doesn’t respect himself is worse than rotten cabbage! And yet, he keeps coming to her aid. Liu Xianglian: “You are a heroine among women. I’ve fallen for you, so why do you look at me as if I were garbage?” Third Sister politely declines. She only wants to throw herself into her business. But to her surprise, the young nobleman she has been seeing all along turns out to be the emperor himself! The emperor says, “Third Sister is so lovely. I want to marry her and bring her home.” This one is the king of rotten cabbage! What will become of Third Sister’s and Second Sister’s love lives?
