Modern office worker Su Qingran worked herself to death after staying up all night. When she opened her eyes again, she had become a peasant girl in the Great Yao Dynasty, whose mother had just died.
The family had nothing. Her father was a gambling addict, her mother was barely cold in her grave, and her own father was already planning to sell her to a local thug to pay off his debts.
The original owner had died of cold and hunger. Now Su Qingran had returned with a modern soul.
In this life, she would never let anyone prey on her again.
She laid down rules for the household, reined in her gambling-addict father, fought local bullies, and earned her first nest egg.
She gathered wild greens, grew fragrant crops, created secret recipes, and expanded her business all the way to the county seat.
From a helpless orphan everyone could bully, she became an extraordinary woman feared by the whole village and famous throughout the county.
But the more she kept a low profile, the louder her reputation grew.
And the more money she made, the more trouble found her.
The village busybodies grew jealous and framed her, local powers worked against her in secret, and even the unfathomable Prince Jing kept appearing by her side.
He was noble and aloof, a man of few words, yet he alone kept pressing her for answers:
“Your bearing, your vision, your methods: none of them are like those of a peasant girl. Who are you, really?”
Su Qingran’s heart clenched.
She could never let anyone discover the secret of her transmigration.
But the way this powerful prince looked at her was becoming more and more unsettling.
All she wanted was to make money in peace and protect her family.
How had she ended up attracting the prince’s attention and getting drawn into an even bigger plot?
