Gu Qingran breathes her last beside a pile of garbage in a New York slum. The bone-deep cold and stench mark the end of the absurd life she lived in her previous life.
She was once the most dazzling jewel of Shanghai's Gu family, cherished by her parents. But after trusting her niece Gu Yurou, who was only three months younger than her, she was framed for colluding with foreigners, stripped of her fortune, and left to die far from home.
Only after death, when her soul lingered on, did she realize she was living in a period novel called The Heroine's Glory. Gu Yurou was a reborn heroine blessed with a protagonist's halo, while Gu Qingran was merely the first stepping stone on the heroine's path to success, a cannon-fodder supporting character destined to hand over her "ancestral pocket dimension" and golden finger!

A soft white light flashed. The pendant disappeared, and a mysterious pocket dimension appeared in her mind, with a bubbling spiritual spring and fertile land.

In addition, the heroine was sold abroad in her previous life and died miserably in a garbage dump. How could she have been a strong woman in her previous life? How could she use her experience in her previous life to make money and manage a company? Also, the police and gangsters in Hong Kong were colluding in that era. If your goods were detained by customs, it would be useless to threaten you with a lawyer or your boss. Such low-level mistakes should not be made.
It's frustrating to watch, and it's not at all common sense. In that era, it would take a spy more than ten years to defeat
