Her adoptive mother puts a price of thirty taels of silver on her, ready to sell her to a gambling addict to abuse.
For thirteen years, Lin Wanwan has been weighed and priced like merchandise in a butcher’s home.
She doesn’t know she is the legitimate daughter of a marquis, switched at birth on the night she was born.
Reborn in a single instant, she returns to that night of life and death.
She grabs an iron scale weight and smashes a thug, then sets the cage ablaze. With a secret letter from the marquis’s household and a jade token proving her bloodline in hand, she fights her way back to the imperial capital.
Her adoptive mother wants to sell her? She reads out the secret letter about the switched babies in front of everyone, exposing the scandal!
The marquis’s household wants to hide her? She uses her hidden connections to spread the news throughout the capital overnight, forcing the marquis to open the main gates and hold a grand banquet to acknowledge her!
The fake heiress smiles while plotting against her? She uses the rules to make her rival punish her own people with her own hands!
Her legitimate elder brother brings men to smash up her courtyard? She says, “I’m the eldest legitimate daughter. Touch me, and you’ll be oppressing your own blood!” His palm stops an inch from her face!

She wants everyone who owes her to repay her, with interest.
But the moment she gains her rightful status, she realizes three different parties have their eyes on her.
The fake heiress puts a slow-acting poison in her tea, the marquis’s household is investigating the origins of the bronze token in her possession,
and even the aloof young gentleman who draped his cloak over her outside the county office...
Inside his carriage, she finds a portrait of herself as a child.
Who is he? Why does he have a portrait of her?
Was he there on the night the babies were switched thirteen years ago?
The bronze token of unknown origin in her possession may be the key to unlocking the truth.
And the truth may be more cruel than she can imagine.
