A top divorce lawyer, 32 years old and nicknamed the “Asset Shredder,” dies from overwork and wakes up in ancient times as Su Lian, a lowly daughter everyone can push around.
Her legitimate elder sister shoves her into a pond, then forces her to take her place at the marquis's household, where she's expected to bring good fortune to a sickly heir and live as a widow.
Ha! A death trap everyone else avoids?
To her, it's clearly the perfect stepping stone to power and wealth!
She plays the weak, innocent flower, tears into her legitimate elder sister, and keeps her hypocritical stepmother in line. All she wants is to build a career and gain power. Romance can wait.
What she never expected was that her younger husband, who seemed to be on the verge of death, was a devious mastermind too!
As the game unfolds, even he gradually becomes immersed in their contest of wits and push and pull.
