Jiang Zhi died once. In her previous life, she knelt at the paternity test, was trampled into the dirt by the fake daughter, then sent to a deserted island, where she died in an “accident.” Reborn, she doesn't wait for the results to be read aloud. She stands up first, gives up her inheritance, signs her name and presses her thumbprint, then boards a boat to Nanya Island with only two thousand yuan to her name. Everyone expects her to fend for herself and die, unaware that she carries three years of memories from her exile and has an eye for business opportunities.
From her first order of thirty jin of sea grapes to signing a cold-chain supply agreement and striking back at the local power broker; from a leaky gray house to controlling the island's entire network of resources. She cuts ties by blood and claims the power to set prices. And what about Lu Zhi, the taciturn “roughneck” at the pier who carries fishing nets with one hand? Jiang Zhi watches him swipe a privileged access card to enter a high-security building and suspects he's up to something. She doesn't know that Lu Zhi has been undercover on the island for years, and that the old case he's investigating points to the same truth as the mystery of her birth.
When the Jiang family finally discovers that the daughter they cast out is still alive and has become a business magnate far beyond their reach, Jiang Zhi is already standing by a newly built pier, with a transformed industrial hub behind her. Holding the original paternity test that was tampered with all those years ago, she calmly announces, “The place you exiled me to is now called Zhi Harbor. I've bought out your entire Jiang family business.”
This time, she doesn't want their apologies. She just wants them on their knees, calling her boss.
