On the day she died, her younger brother, whom she had personally placed on the throne, brought her a cup of poisoned wine.
“Elder Sister, you were too powerful.”
When she opens her eyes again, she has become the most overlooked sixth daughter of the wealthy Shen family.
She lives in the servants’ quarters, eats leftovers, is treated like a maid by her cousin, and is manipulated like merchandise by her third aunt.
Everyone is waiting to see the day she is married off to just anyone.
Then she casually takes the civil service exam and ranks third in the city.
Then she leaves her aggressive eldest uncle speechless with a few words.
Then she gets laid off.
Everyone assumes she will go crying back to the Shen family and beg them to take her in.
Instead, at a family meeting, she lays everyone’s dirty secrets on the table and smiles gently.
“From today on, the Shen family answers to me.”
Later, someone asks her, “You’re just a young woman with no connections. How did you turn things around?”
She only smiles.
Obviously, she is the eldest princess who clawed her way out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
You want to play power games with her? You’re still far too green.
When her cousin provokes her, she smiles and exposes every one of her cousin’s scandals.
When her boss tries to suppress her, she turns around and gets him sent to jail.
When her family tries to control her, she takes the entire family into her own hands.
One day, Gu Changqing, the Crown Prince of Beijing’s elite circle, stops her.
“Miss Shen, I heard you’ve been going on blind dates lately?”
Without looking up, she says, “What’s it to you?”
“I’d like to put myself forward.”
“You? Take a number and wait your turn.”
