[Reborn + seeds of a past-life connection bearing fruit in this life + building wealth + a light ensemble cast]
When Zhou Lezhi was ten, her once fairly happy family was torn apart by her eldest brother’s new wife. Her eldest brother was framed and killed, while her second sister was forced to become the concubine of a wealthy man named Qian and died in disgrace. Her father fell into a coma, and her mother was left chronically ill. For the sake of money, Song Lan sold Zhou Lezhi as a singing girl. During the darkest time of her life, someone fortunately stayed by her with genuine affection. Though that person died of illness not long afterward, they had arranged for Zhou Lezhi’s future. In the end, Zhou Lezhi chose to spend the rest of her life beside the Buddha, in quiet devotion.
The year they met was the most painful year of Zhou Lezhi’s life. A kind offer of a pastry, and a safe place where she could have enough to eat and live, were the greatest blessings she could have hoped for. In their past life, they were merely passing acquaintances. In this life, I will never let you suffer from illness and leave this world so young.
A twist of fate sets cause and effect in motion. This time, they are no longer passing acquaintances; destiny binds them closely together.
A little story about two miserable souls saving each other, with a light ensemble cast. Everyone gets to live a remarkable life. Follow Zhou Lezhi as she rescues her family from disaster, saves Jiang Lin from the torment of illness, and makes her way toward a prosperous life.
Many years later, the legend of the immensely wealthy merchant Zhou still circulates throughout the land.
