At eighteen, I earned a place on the imperial examination honors list, only for my cruel biological father to tear up my admission letter.
My cold-blooded parents drugged me and ruined my innocence to pay off my gambling-addict younger brother’s debts, then forced me to marry.
After I was humiliated when my fiancé fled, the whole village mocked and trampled me. With nowhere left to turn, I decisively cut ties with my family.
I cleared land and farmed to make a hard living, but a scoundrel of a man burned the foundation I had built with my own sweat and blood.
By chance, I saved a down-and-out young master from a wealthy family, and from then on he became my devoted protector.
I left behind the feuds of the mountain village and headed for the big city to work hard and build a business.
With my excellent cooking skills, I made my way in the business world, opening chain stores everywhere and growing richer with every step.
I tore into my parasitic relatives, used face-slapping against the heartless scoundrel, and cut off the ties to my troubled past.
A poor country girl turns her life around against all odds, building her career, making a fortune, and receiving devoted love.
From the muddy depths to the heights of prosperity, she begins a fulfilling life in full bloom.
