Shen Linyuan, a fatherly big shot, vs. Shi Wan, a master strategist

Shi Wan, the greatest female strategist of the Great Liang, brings her fated phoenix spirit with her when her soul crosses into the modern world.

From the start, on her very first day, she tears up the “stand-in rules.”

“Mr. Shen, romance is less profitable than business. I’ll make sure the Shen family stands strong for a hundred years, and you’ll give me a life of wealth and honor.”

Shen Linyuan thinks she’s crazy, until she casually points out a flaw in the formation at the Shen family’s old residence.

From then on, the capital’s elite circle is turned upside down.

Shi Wan, who used to be so lowly she was trampled into the dirt, becomes a guest of honor whom the big shots compete to invite.

She can recite rare ancient books that have been missing for years with her eyes closed.

With a few casual tweaks, she can get a broken chain of funding flowing again.

When the idealized first love returns from abroad, she thinks she’ll have the upper hand, only to discover

Shen Linyuan’s arrogant friends are lining up to offer Shi Wan tea.

“Sister-in-law, should we take this piece of land? Just say the word.”

Shen Linyuan even pins her in a corner, his voice husky:

“Wanwan, you tell everyone’s fortune. When are you going to tell ours, and predict our wedding date?”

The bald phoenix in Shi Wan’s arms squawks: “Caw! Dream on!”
