In Lingnan, Ming Dynasty, 16-year-old Lin Wanyin pawned herself to a pawnshop to save her brother. In exchange, she received not only a huge debt, but also a woman's determination to break through the cracks of the times. From a pawn shop apprentice to a tea plantation operator, she relied on her extraordinary courage and wisdom to gain some ground in the male business battlefield and revive the declining "Lin's Tea".
However, fate was ill-fated. A marriage of profit involved her in a deep house, her mother-in-law's discipline, her brother-in-law's greed, and family strife followed closely. In the mall, she dealt with the acquisition temptation and secret suppression of industry giants. In her emotions, she faced the reappearance of her lost first love, the accidental death of her husband, and the inseparable entanglements of the powerful forces in the world. Each crisis tried to pull her back into her old ways of dependence and submission.
Lin Wanyin is like the thorns on the tea tree, soft and sharp. She operates prudently at home, boldly explores in the business world, and uses tea and swords to mediate in the complex mystery of new trends of thought and old rules, family responsibilities and personal ideals, true feelings and interests. From being chosen to be independent to actively choosing to be independent, she experienced betrayal, insult, and bereavement, but she never broke her spine.
