Su Jin, a top divorce lawyer, dies from overwork and wakes up as Shen Mingxi, the ill-fated legitimate daughter destined to die in an old-school tragic romance.
The original Shen Mingxi poured out her entire dowry to support a poor scholar who had topped the imperial exams, only to be poisoned to death through a conspiracy between her husband, her vicious mother-in-law, and her husband’s beloved cousin. Her dowry was stolen, and her entire family was sentenced to execution.
After awakening, she casts aside her foolish romantic notions. With the law as her blade and evidence as her shield, she doesn’t resort to poison or competing with other women. Instead, she uses a lawyer’s instincts to plan each move, expose the scheming women, bring down her worthless husband, and unravel a treasonous conspiracy, repaying the original owner’s blood debt in full.
She refuses to cling to anyone or settle for less. One divorce agreement sets her free from her shackles, and with a fortune at her disposal, she sets off to see the world, becoming a beacon of hope for countless women across the Great Yong dynasty.
