The Fallen Phoenix Takes Flight

Even with its feathers fallen, a phoenix still dares to soar through the heavens! Su Qingyuan, originally named Jiang Qingyuan, was the eldest legitimate daughter of the Jiang family in Jiangnan. Her maternal grandfather belonged to the powerful Ling family of the northern military and political world. Skilled in Suzhou embroidery, traditional Chinese medicine, and traditional-style design, she was a pampered darling of the heavens. But at eighteen, her stepmother Lin Wanqing set her up. Her father fell into a coma, her family fortune was stolen, and her identity was falsified before she was cast out, leaving her a destitute orphan with nowhere to go. Her stepsister took her place, her former fiancé turned to curry favor with others, and one humiliation after another followed. But she was never someone who could be pushed around. Concealing her sharp edge, she was reborn under the name Su Qingyuan. She opened a clinic using her family's traditional medical knowledge, launched a business through livestreams featuring intangible cultural heritage Suzhou embroidery, and dazzled the internet with traditional-style design. She crossed paths with Lu Shiyan, the cold and imposing CEO of the Lu family in the capital. Indebted to the Jiang family, he was drawn to her resilience and pride, quietly protecting her until they joined forces as equals. She tears into her scheming stepsister, kicks her status-obsessed former fiancé to the curb, exposes her stepmother's plot, awakens her comatose father, and cleans house to restore the Jiang family. No saintly self-sacrifice, no swallowing her grievances: she always gets even, and she does it ruthlessly. She brings traditional crafts into business, uses her medical skills to win allies, and ultimately stands above the clouds hand in hand with Lu Shiyan, having become her own light!
