In her previous life, she was a jeweler killed by a business rival. She is reborn in 1962 in a tenement block in Sham Shui Po, Hong Kong. This background gives a believable explanation for her discerning eye for antiques and her business acumen.
While apprenticing at a pawnshop, she spots a neglected jadeite bangle and makes her first fortune by reselling it. She invests with remarkable foresight in land that will become a future commercial hub, then cleverly combines traditional Chinese craftsmanship with international design when she founds her jewelry company. A key conflict could arise when her enemy from her previous life is reborn too, secretly sabotaging her business plans.
