Gu Jinnian, a top student at the Modern University of Political Science and Law, woke up and became a Chongxi village girl who was sold by her uncle for ten taels of silver.
When she married into Qingshan Village on behalf of her cousin, what awaited her was a leaky shabby house, a terminally ill Orion husband, and the best relatives who were eyeing her. Everyone was waiting to see her joke, but Gu Jinnian calmly signed a contract, turning this ridiculous marriage into a deal where everyone got what they needed.
Under the contract, she worked step by step: suppressing her relatives with legal rules, and dividing the family property with the help of evil; in a piece of acidic soil that no one cared about, she planted red fruits that the world had never seen before; starting from a chili pepper workshop, she quietly leveraged the commercial landscape of the entire era. And the Orion husband, who was rumored to be dead soon, gradually showed an edge that was completely inconsistent with his identity.
In a small courtyard in troubled times, two people with their own secrets went from coexisting and coexisting to walking side by side. She used modern legal knowledge and business wisdom to carve a bloody path in the male-dominated world; he used his young sword and the power dormant in the dark to block all open and secret arrows for her.
When chili peppers turn the valley red, when the glass illuminates the capital, when the former village woman steps into the Golden Palace with her imperial edict, and reads out the "Discussion on Crimes" with words as sharp as a knife——
Only people in the world understand that this woman started out as a sedan chair that she was forced to sit on, and has reached a stage where she has been looked down upon by an entire era.
"I just signed a contract in this ridiculous world that fate is unwilling to give. Now, it's my turn to settle the score with fate."
