Jiang Qie, a well-known restorer of cultural relics in the future, accidentally slipped into an ancient Danmei Machiavellian novel and became a vicious female supporting character who was about to die at the beginning (and there was no female protagonist in the original novel). In order to change her inevitable fate, she used her superb cultural relic restoration and identification skills to make money to save herself in ancient times. However, she accidentally provoked Xie Fuyao, the charlatan and Taoist priest with the most notorious reputation and the funniest personality in the book.
The two formed a "money-making gang", with Jiang Qie responsible for identifying and picking up leaks, and Xie Fuyao responsible for suppressing them with force and making jokes. In the original work, the hypocritical, gentle-looking but sinister "heartthrob" male protagonist (original best friend/sworn brother) constantly framed and tried to use Jiang Qie as a stepping stone. With Xie Fuyao's "unreliable" help, Jiang Qie not only turned around and slapped her in the face many times, but also gradually discovered that this sand sculpture Taoist priest who shouted "poor people and lack of money" all day long actually had a life experience that could subvert the court, and his seemingly crooked heart had long been dominated by her.
