Shen Qingci, the legitimate daughter of the Shen family, lost her mother to murder and spent ten years living under someone else’s roof. Then her golden finger, the Word Appraiser, awakened, allowing her to tell truth from lies and see the malice in people’s hearts. Married off in her cousin’s place to the Chief Councilor’s household, she was threatened by her husband on her wedding night and plunged into one perilous situation after another. She neither cried nor made a fuss. Instead, she turned her enemies’ power against them, eliminated her husband’s concubine, exposed her stepmother, took charge of the household, and established her authority.

In the end, she reached the pinnacle of the inner household and asked with a smile, “Chief Councilor, is it your turn to burn in hell today?”
