Sheng Tingzhi grew up in a pawn shop in Nanchuan. She is good at keeping accounts, pawning, and reading people's faces.
She has no lofty ambitions, only one very simple wish——
Leave the mud and crawl toward the light.
So she went to Beijing with a bag of money, a letter of recommendation, and a rustic look. She planned to find a job in a big bank first, then choose a husband from a noble family, climb a high tree, and earn a decent life.
Unexpectedly, when she arrived in the capital, her counterpart bank was involved in a major military pay case. She was taken to court and almost became a scapegoat.
The presiding judge is Gu Xingzhi, the minister of the Ministry of Justice who comes from a poor family and is cold and aloof.
Everyone fears him, everyone respects him, but no one expects -
He picked up the small accountant who was about to be "convicted" in public:
"This person is an important witness and will be personally supervised by this official."
From then on, she became the "cousin girl with questionable origins" in Gu Mansion's side courtyard.
The outside world ridiculed her for climbing high branches, staying close to high families, and being a coquettish child;
The inner house regarded her as a trouble, a disaster, and an unspeakable trouble.
There is only one sentence from Gu Xing:
"If you are willing to tell the truth, I will protect your innocence all the way."
——So, she went through old accounts, checked bank accounts, and slowly transformed from a little girl who was pushed into the game,
Grow into a person who can break the situation with him.
And Gu Xingzhi also learned from the "cold and unapproachable" minister.
Become——
Someone who is willing to break off a branch for her with his own hands and let her use the wind to fly up.
This is the story of two people climbing up from the mud, supporting each other, and then climbing up a branch together.
Purpose: In a world full of power, small people can also change their destiny with their abilities;
Wealth can climb high branches, but what can really support you is the account in your hand.
