Yun Qian, a top cultivator in the realm of cultivation, fails her tribulation and finds her soul transported into a wealthy-family melodrama novel, where she becomes the “useless” substitute bride about to be thrown out by the male lead, Lu Hanchen.
Lu Hanchen is an uncaring, aloof business tycoon with his “white moonlight” in his heart. He marries her only as a stopgap.
On their wedding night, he tosses her a contract. “Play your part quietly. In a year, you’ll be free.”
Looking at the man who wouldn’t even be worthy of carrying her shoes in the cultivation world, Yun Qian sneers. “Fine. You said it.”
So when Lu Hanchen spends a fortune on his white moonlight, Yun Qian casually concocts a pill and sells it at auction for a sky-high price.
When the white moonlight humiliates her with a piano performance at a banquet, Yun Qian lightly taps her fingers. Her rendition of Guangling San summons a chorus of birds, leaving everyone stunned.
Everyone thinks Yun Qian is a pitiful nobody who clawed her way up by currying favor with Lu Hanchen. Then, one day, the heads of the world’s most powerful financial dynasties gather in one place, bow to her, and address her with reverence: “Your Excellency Yun, welcome back to your rightful place.”
