A modern girl gets so furious at a novel’s plot while reading that she unexpectedly transmigrates into the story as Fubao, an utterly inconspicuous nobody of a heroine, born into the second branch of the village’s Xu family. Though her family dotes on her, she is hated by the eldest daughter of the first branch, who does everything she can to take revenge.
When disaster strikes and the village is pushed to the brink, Fubao uses her cheat-like golden finger to lead the whole village on a desperate migration. They eventually settle by the sea. She teaches everyone about seafood and opens up new business opportunities, steadily building wealth and influence, with every step taken over the “ruins” of her rivals.
Along the way, Fubao rescues a man with amnesia, only to discover that he is the Crown Prince. After weathering political machinations and ascending the throne, he sends people to find Fubao and invites her to the palace as his consort. But Fubao’s heart is set on the wide world beyond the palace and her businesses, so she firmly refuses. With no other choice, the emperor grants her a death-exemption plaque and a jade pendant symbolizing her status. The pendant looks remarkably like the Second Prince’s.
Before long, the emperor arranges for the Second Prince to keep Fubao company. From then on, she and the Second Prince join forces to make their mark in the business world, leaving behind a thrilling and turbulent legend.
