Synopsis

On the night the Shen family was wiped out, Shen Jialan should have died with them.

The one who survived was her. The one who died was the daughter of a household servant, who had just succumbed to illness: Xu Lanxiang.

Under that name, she entered the Lin residence and was assigned to the lowest-ranking tea room, where she boiled water. No one in the household knew she could read, much less that she had an exceptional memory. She only had to glance at the figures in a ledger once to remember them.

The eldest madam, who managed the household, replaced all the old staff. The eldest master, recently returned from overseas, cared only about military affairs and the accounts.

She learned everything, one thing at a time: the accounts, the medicines, the people. She learned until the door of the inner study opened a crack for her, until people began to fear her.

Sixteen years later, Du Cuique, exiled all those years ago, returned with hatred in her heart. Zhao Xingtang, who lent money at exorbitant interest, and Madam Qin, enduring a loveless marriage, each struggled in their own mire.

This is a fanfiction of Orchid Fragrance as Before.

Their stories begin with "surviving" and lead to "living well."

With this book, I pay tribute to all the stories that left us yearning for a different ending.
