On her first day after transmigrating, Shen Yan wakes up in a brothel with a geological hammer clutched in her hand and three scantily dressed beauties sprawled beside the bed.

Shen Yan: ...That's petrology, thank you very much.
She spots a silver deposit in the limestone mountains outside the window, but she's a sheltered minister's daughter who isn't allowed to leave the inner courtyard. So she disguises herself as a wastrel young master, smashes rocks, builds a business, and finds allies. Along the way, she joins forces with her best friend, who transmigrated from a pharmaceutical college, to mine, make medicine, and earn money in the ancient world.
Lu Jingyun of the Canal Transport Office is the boy she saved in childhood, now a man in a powerful position. He recognized long ago that she was a woman, but went along with her act to repay his life debt, and because he wants to protect her as she takes on this difficult and dangerous path.
The danger of being exposed while disguised as a man, face-slapping business rivalries, political maneuvering to solve old cases, and two PhDs using modern technology to overwhelm the ancient world. This mine is hers to open!
