[Both leads devoted to each other, imaginative premise]
Ji Lianjie, the Minister of Revenue, is convicted and executed. The Ji family’s home is confiscated, and the family’s legitimate daughter, Ji Xiangsi, is thrown into prison.
For some unknown reason, her maternal uncle never comes to fetch her. In the end, she and her maid are sold off together.
The person who buys her is shrouded in mystery.
Is it some old geezer of high rank, about her father’s age?
A prince with a blood feud against her father?
Or someone she would never have expected...
Whoever it is, they can forget about making her their concubine.
A woman may be made of water, but she must never have water in her brain.
She will never depend on a man. She will use whatever leverage she can find to turn a man’s power to her own advantage and grow stronger.
She is no parasitic vine. She, too, can grow into a towering tree.
