Huan Yanyan, an office drone ground down by the workplace, works herself to death after another bout of overtime and transmigrates into an ancient merchant family as a mistreated illegitimate daughter. After unexpectedly gaining the ability to read minds, she discovers that her legitimate mother plans to marry her off to a perverted old official, while her legitimate elder sister is always looking for a chance to disfigure her.
But Huan Yanyan overhears everyone’s schemes and turns the tables, changing her fate against all odds. She opens shops, takes on the powerful, and rises from a lowly illegitimate daughter to a queen of commerce. Using her modern mindset to master the rules of the ancient world, she pursues her ultimate dream: getting rich while doing nothing.
