Across three lives, she goes from a frail legitimate daughter to the notorious ruler of Lingnan.

Reborn three times, she transmigrates into a baby. Her father is the heir to a marquis's title, but he has been banished to the miasma-ridden lands of Lingnan for ten years.

When she opens her eyes, the wealth and glory of her previous life are gone. Her father is now a powerless seventh-rank official, and her mother is even using her dowry to help him take a concubine.

It turns out the family was so short of money that he had no choice but to marry a merchant's daughter.

She closes her eyes again. Well, she's here now, so she might as well help the family get back on its feet. Even as a baby, she starts stirring things up. Drawing on the little medical knowledge she retained from her past life, she makes medicinal sachets to sell, only to accidentally poison her second brother unconscious.

But she doesn't give up. She drops hints and shows off her skills in all sorts of ways to help her mother regain control of the household finances.

Their lives improve, but then she discovers a powerful hand working behind the scenes. Their family returning to Chang'an? It's a pipe dream.

With no other choice, she helps her father build a record of achievement, pushes her eldest brother to study, forces her second brother to practice martial arts, and supports her elder sister and her half-siblings.

But after ten years of hardship, when they finally return to Chang'an, her father has lost his position as heir...
