On the day of the marriage meant to bring good fortune, Su Wanqing knew she had stepped into a dragon's lair.
To rescue her family from an urgent crisis, she was married into the wealthy Jiangnan Xie family as a substitute bride. An illegitimate daughter, she was to bring good fortune to the third young master, Xie Zhiyao, whose mind had regressed to that of a child after an accident. Her flawed appearance was why she had been chosen; her declining birth family was the shackle that forced her to endure. Everyone was waiting to see how this farce would end.
But she soon discovered that her “foolish” husband was more than he seemed.
Though as innocent as a child, he could remember even the most complicated accounts at a glance, and his instinct for business was astonishingly sharp. Beneath the surface, undercurrents churned: there were many suspicious details surrounding her husband's “accident,” everyone in the household had their own agenda, and the family business was beset by crises.
Now that she was in the game, she had no choice but to become a piece on the board and fight for a bright future!
Wanqing concealed her talents and drew on her husband's abilities to show what she could do. She spotted opportunities in the smallest details and unraveled schemes amid the click of the abacus. From a bride walking on thin ice, she quietly became the one directing the game.
When the conspiracy was finally exposed and Xie Zhiyao regained his senses, he saw that his “unremarkable” wife had already built a world for him...
This is a game of strategy that began with a marriage meant to bring good fortune and ended as a legend of hidden splendor. Watch as a humble illegitimate daughter joins forces with her husband, who had lost his memory, to paint a magnificent picture amid the twists and turns of household rivalries and the world of commerce.
