When modern-day Jiang He opened her eyes, she had transmigrated into a widowed mountain village woman in the Great Qing Empire. Her husband had died young, she had nothing to her name, and several hungry children had been added to the household.
A dead father and surviving children? Honestly, not bad.
A dynasty that doesn't exist in known history? Not bad either.
With no reference points or set answers, anything is possible.
What no one knew was that this suddenly changed widow had brought along a mysterious pawnshop where anything could be pawned.
Her personality was adaptable. She could switch seamlessly to suit whatever the situation called for.
The children were obedient, so she might as well raise them. In this brutal world, she needed a family to help her keep up appearances, too. She raised them from a ramshackle hut to a grand manor, turning the short-lived little wretches into devoted children, one by one.
Most people talk of Buddha with their mouths while harboring a demon in their hearts.
So what secret does that pawnshop hold?
Was this truly an opportunity that had fallen into her lap, or a trap laid for her long ago?
