Huang Huilan is reborn in New York in 1920, on the eve of her wedding.
A century-defining wedding to Wellington Koo? She's not going through with it.
In front of the entire family, she stuffs her wedding dress into the bottom of a wardrobe.
Then she takes her 300,000-dollar dowry and heads straight back to Shanghai.
She starts with a single qipao shop.
Cane sugar, rubber, international trade...
By the time Wellington Koo comes to his senses, she's a business queen whose empire spans three worlds.
He asks, "Do I still have a chance?"
She smiles and pins a white orchid to her lapel. "Mr. Koo, you'll have to catch the next one."
