In her previous life, Wang Xifeng managed the people and accounts of the Jia family, preserving the dignity of the entire household.
She was ambitious and ruthless, and more capable than anyone. But the more the family depended on her, the more accounts, favors, and messes landed on her shoulders.
It was only when the Embroidered Uniform Guard came to raid the estate, laying bare the unallotted ancestral property, each branch's possessions, property deeds, and IOUs, that she saw the truth: money was never the Jia family's only real danger.
When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to a time before the Jia family fell apart.
In this life, she is still Wang Xifeng.
She just won't cover for everyone anymore.
Whoever spent the money must answer for it. Whoever incurred a debt must bear it. Every family's property, expenses, and responsibilities must be clearly accounted for, one by one.
Starting with the first ledger, she begins to tear apart the tangled favors, interests, and appearances shared by the Ning and Rong estates.
But Xifeng soon discovers:
Accounts can be separated, and families can be divided, but can ties and fates really be disentangled?
And will the confiscation she has already lived through happen again, right on schedule?
