On the night of the Yuan Dynasty, in the West Market of Chang'an, a frightened horse trampled the lanterns all over the street to pieces.
Su Wantang fell into the muddy water, and the horse's hoofs left a black mark on her half-worn apricot red cloak. The noble man on horseback casually pulled off the jade pendant from his waist and threw it over. His tone was as calm as if he was sending a beggar away: "I'll pay you." She picked up the jade pendant, wiped the muddy water off her sleeves, and thanked her with a smile.
Twenty taels of silver is enough to keep the shop occupied for a month.
She thought it was just an unexpected episode, but she didn't know that the man named Pei Heng remembered her name from then on.
Su Wantang is the female shopkeeper of a small silk and satin shop in Dongshi. Her father died young and her mother was sick. From the age of fourteen, she learned to read account books, source goods, and support a family. Pei Heng is a well-known devil in the capital, the second son of Zhongshu Lingfu, and he never fails to get what he wants. He thought that Su Wantang would be like everyone else, bowing his head before power.
But she just didn't.
This is an unequal contest. On one side are the rich and powerful children who are turning everything upside down, and on the other side are the businesswomen who are gritting their teeth and carrying on. He cut off her supply of goods, cut off her business, and forced her into desperation. However, she found his mother and used a piece of jade pendant returned to him to gain a chance to breathe. From Chang'an to Jiangnan, from a small shop to the world-famous Yunjinfang, Su Wantang spent half her life proving one thing - it is not anyone else's turn to decide her life.
And Pei Heng, the arrogant and arrogant person at the time, has also faded away from his glitz over the years. When the two met again at the canal dock in the south of the Yangtze River, the former playboy had become a strong-willed general, and she was no longer a little shopkeeper who needed to be looked up to.
