Wang Xiaoya, a strong farm girl whose parents both died, starts out as a humble peasant and eventually becomes an empress revered by all. First, her cruel paternal grandmother forces her to break off her engagement. Then her wicked aunt knocks her unconscious and sells her. Wang Xiaoya escapes on the way, flees into the mountains, and falls into a cave, where she hits her head. Her blood drips onto the stone pendant she has always worn close to her body, granting her a golden finger... As Wang Xiaoya saves people and accumulates good fortune, the pendant keeps evolving and she grows stronger. Along the way, she meets Wang Yifan, the young master of a reclusive clan, and swears sisterhood with Lin Miaomiao, the county magistrate's daughter, and Zhang Yingying, the direct granddaughter of the leader of Qingfeng Sect, the greatest sect under heaven. Together, the three formidable women go into business, learn martial arts, establish academies, and more, helping countless vulnerable women improve their standing in society. They give women the means to survive independently in an ancient world where men rule and women are inferior, so they no longer have to depend on men. When peace and prosperity finally reign... “My empress, where are you going?”
