Liu Xiaoying could sum up the first nineteen years of her life in two words: endure it.
Her parents died when she was young, and she lived with her aunt, doing hard labor in a storeroom.
She endured it for nineteen years, until her aunt announced in front of the whole village that she was to marry her cousin.
She wouldn't endure it anymore.
From the storeroom to the business world, from street stall vendor to trade merchant, from having nothing to having everything.
She thought she was carrying the burden alone.
Only later did she discover that someone had known her fate even before she did.
Who was he?
Why had he known she would succeed from the moment they first met?

Yan Chen was reborn.
In his previous life, he worked as a secretary at a company. His boss was a formidable woman who had gone from selling goods at a street stall to becoming the biggest trader in town. He had been secretly in love with her for years but never got the chance to tell her.
The day someone tried to hurt her, he took a knife for her.
When he opened his eyes again, he was back at eighteen. He was still studying in town, and she was still being mistreated at her aunt's home.
Yan Chen made a decision: in this life, he would get in good with her early.
But he hadn't expected his decisive, formidable boss from his previous life to be small and frail at nineteen, living in a storeroom crammed with junk and barely getting enough to eat.
He'd originally come to get in good with her.
How had it turned into feeling sorry for her?
