In the previous life, Shen Zhaoning, the legitimate daughter of the Shen family, the richest man in Jiangnan, fell in love with Gu Linyuan, the legitimate son of the Prime Minister's Mansion. She handed over the Shen family's business power for him, opened up trade routes in the south of the Yangtze River, and negotiated for the Gu family in the court. In the end, Gu Linyuan and the queen jointly framed her for treason and treason.
Before she died, she learned that the person who really worked for her and reversed the Shen family's case was Xiao Jingheng, the prince of Zhenguo, whom she had never seen seriously. Xiao Jingheng died in the palace incident to save her. She closed her eyes with regret, and when she woke up, she was back to the year when she was sixteen years old and had not yet married Gu Linyuan.
In this life, the first thing Shen Zhaoning did was to break off the engagement. She no longer entrusted her wealth, fame and life to Gu Linyuan, nor was she a weak legitimate daughter on the chessboard of the powerful. She reorganized the Shen family's business, established an intelligence network, arranged grain roads, salt transportation and Jiangnan banks in advance, and exposed the Gu family's hypocrisy in counterattacks.
Xiao Jingheng originally did not dare to be emotional, but was attracted by Shen Zhaoning's calmness and tenacity. The two went from testing each other to supporting each other, from cooperating on interests to staying together for life and death, and finally joined forces to smash Gu Linyuan's conspiracy to collude with the enemy. After Xiao Jingheng ascended the throne, Shen Zhaoning became the queen, but she still used her own methods to reform the business system and promote women's education. The two built a prosperous age together and loved each other for a lifetime.
