On the day of their wedding, Lu Zhiwei was moved into the debt-ridden Shen family by her cousin.
As soon as the sedan chair landed, the bank had already blocked the door; the newlywed husband Shen Yanchuan was not only a cold-faced widower, but also brought a seven-year-old daughter who was always on guard against her. Everyone was waiting for her to use the dowry to fill the hole, but she first found out three sets of accounts that were fighting each other: out of the 860 guan receivable, only 210 guan could actually be recovered within seven days, and there were still 92 good goods in the warehouse that had been secretly transferred away.
The elder of the clan forced her to pay a dowry, but she backhandedly wrote the eighty strings as a bridge loan deed, in exchange for the right to jointly seal the business.
From then on, she managed accounts, money, and contracts; he ran cargo routes, pressed shipping schedules, and fended off clan persecution. Two people who originally just wanted to settle their days ended up rescuing a bankrupt company amid repeated stockouts, bank runs, and family disputes. They also turned a marriage that had been exchanged for the wrong person into a destination that no one could change.
