All of the capital waited to see the concubine-born daughter who had married in the bride's place thrown out of the General's residence.
But what they got instead was this:
She cured the frail general's old injury with a single needle, and breathed new life into his cold, lifeless home.
With one hand, she used her medical skills to save lives; with the other, she wielded her abacus and shook the business world.
When the discarded daughter finally donned her phoenix crown and red wedding robes, revered by all,
her once-haughty family realized too late:
The pearl they had thrown away was destined to light up the heavens.
