During the first year of Yongjing Dynasty, the imperial power fell to the side, and the Dou family, a relative of the family, took over the power, and the gentry and the poor families were at war with each other. The Shen family of Wuxing, a former top noble family, was beheaded overnight due to a "rebellion case". The eldest daughter Shen Wei was rescued by a loyal servant and was chased and separated, and later became an orphan in the slums of West City.
After lying dormant for several years, she hid her identity and talents and made a living by copying books and settling accounts. However, after witnessing the oppression of powerful people and discovering the flaws in the old family case, she ignited the fire of revenge. With her outstanding ingenuity, she was appreciated by the businessman Su Wulang. She took the pseudonym "Mr. Su" to manage the accounting office and set up an information network in the market. In the first battle, she defeated the Dou family's minions through loopholes in the law and became famous in one battle.
From then on, she took advantage of the "Weiji Trading Company" to break into the Beijing chess game with her wealth and wisdom: she assisted the neglected seventh prince Zhao Heng in seizing the legitimate son, and joined forces with the upright imperial censor Gu Yun and the border guard general Xiao Ce to stir up troubles in the secret fights in the court and the war on the border. When sudden changes occurred in Dou's palace, she protected her master with her own body, and her identity was exposed. The truth about Shen's legitimate daughter shocked the government and the public.
When the new emperor ascended the throne, she defied all opinions and became the prime minister. She promoted reforms, stabilized the border areas, and cleaned up the administration of officials. She transformed from a vengeful lone wolf into a minister of the country. When Dayonghe Qinghaiyan arrived, she relinquished her authority, returned to her hometown to rebuild the academy, and recruited disciples from poor families and women.
This is a counterattack from dust to purple dust. It is a song of women's awakening in the male-dominated era. It contains the thrilling game of power and intrigue, and also describes the life choices of "keeping the truth" and "flexibility" in troubled times.
