Transmigrated into the Republican era as a bullied nobody, Sang Qing finds herself treated like a pawn by her adoptive family, who want to use her to curry favor with the powerful. She just laughs: after struggling her way through Hengdian, this is exactly the kind of leading-role script she’s been waiting for!
Sent to the demon Zhao Jici? Perfect. The enemy of my enemy is my strongest ally.
She learns to swim with whip marks on her back, swallows her disgust to play the innocent, and “happens” to run into her target at a pool party for the powerful. Everyone is waiting to laugh at the “plaything.”
Until one day, Young Master Zhao shields her in front of everyone and points his gun at the fawning Sang De. “You think you can lay a hand on my woman?”
Her hypocritical adoptive family is stunned, as are the socialites who once looked down on her.
From cast-off daughter to the one Madam Zhao no one in Shanghai dares to cross, Sang Qing proves that a transmigrator’s “protagonist fate” is something you seize for yourself!
