A legitimate daughter forbidden to study is reborn, yet still cannot escape a fate controlled by her family, marriage, and social conventions. She spends her life repaying other people's debts with money, leverage, and schemes, wanting only to finish writing her own name. In the end, the person who remembers her is her nemesis.
She returns with the memories of her previous life to the night she turned sixteen. But aside from those memories, she brings nothing back: the money, indenture papers, and evidence remain in the past, and she cannot utter a single word about the future. The only thing she can change is the path she takes. The cost of her first attempt to change her fate falls on Mr. Zhao, her mother, and Qingxiang. From then on, she walks only the path she can afford to pay for.
