When modern forensic doctor Su Miaomiao opens her eyes, she and her gentle mother are being thrown out by her vicious grandmother!
Her mother was falsely accused of having an affair and cast out by her husband, while Su Miaomiao was beaten until she was barely alive.
Her wicked grandmother plants her hands on her hips and declares, "You two could starve to death in the street, and nobody would lift a finger!"
Su Miaomiao sneers, wipes the blood from her face, and drags her mother straight to the ground on the busiest street by the county yamen.
She has no cultivation dimension or high-tech System, but she knows human pressure points and physiology inside out!
She presses a few points on her own body, and at once her pulse disappears and foam spills from her mouth. With a seamless performance of a life-threatening injury, she extorts every last coin from her greedy grandmother and younger uncle in the middle of the street, then gets them beaten with rods and thrown in jail!
When spiteful relatives smash up her shop out of jealousy, local thugs come looking for trouble, or rival restaurants try to crush her business, Su Miaomiao combines her staged accidents with the laws of the Great Zhou until she's mastered them. Anyone who dares lay a hand on her will be extorted until they're bankrupt!
She and her mother set up a braised-food stall, then use buy-one-get-one-free deals and hunger marketing to build a business that makes them the richest family in the city.
Her mother grows younger by the day, attracting the city's richest merchant, who arrives with eight sedan-bearers to ask for her hand.
On the wedding day, Su Miaomiao's poor scholar of a father, who disappeared three years earlier after encountering bandits, shows up in the uniform of a first-rank grand secretary, Imperial Guards surrounding the street. His eyes are red as he grits out:
"I've only been gone three years, and you've already found yourself a new father?!"
