Shen Zhi, a modern investment banking elite, transmigrated and became the legitimate daughter of the Zhongyong Hou family. She discovered that she was actually the "vicious female partner" who died young in the group favorite novel - the original heroine turned evil due to jealousy of the heroine's sister, and eventually died of a knife. In order to protect herself, she disguised herself as a slow-responsive "silly girl" since she was a baby. She planned to fake her death and escape when she became an adult and find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to live a peaceful life.
However, her younger uncle, Shen Yanzhi, a concubine who was only 18 years old, got a clue from her subtle expression of "catching the abacus and then throwing it away". This proud son of God, who was ignored by his family, took her with him to "educate" her on the grounds of being "interesting", but in fact he was training her as a hidden chess piece. In the game of "showing off" and "being exposed", Shen Zhiwei was forced to learn medical skills, business ethics, and tactics, but he always believed that he could wait until he died at the age of fourteen.
Until the day of his fourteenth birthday, Zhongyong Hou was falsely accused of collaborating with the enemy due to the military pay case. The whole family of men was exiled to northern Xinjiang, and the female family members were banished to the Jiaofang. Shen Zhiwei looked at her mother and sister who were crying together, and finally tore off the fifteen-year disguise. She carried the paulownia coffin left behind by her father and fought for a reprieve from the execution through "extreme force". With modern financial thinking and Shen Yanzhi's secretly arranged power, she led her family members to start selling "candied haws of sugar" at a stall and gradually established a trade network across the north and south.
When the turmoil in the court returned, she discovered that Shen Yanzhi had "cultivated" her all these years for a shocking conspiracy. And that little uncle who always told her "don't be too self-righteous" had already unknowingly become her most solid support.
