Reborn under fire, she returned to her exile in 1901.
In her past life, Du Juan watched helplessly: her mother was poisoned and her father died in depression; her best friend Yundi was raped and then fell into a well; her lover Fucha Zhuangyu died tragically in prison because of her involvement; even her useless ex-fiancé Wu Chunshen froze to death on the street.
Her half-life efforts were finally wiped out in the smoke of the Songhu War in 1937.
When I open my eyes again, the troubled times have just begun, and nothing has happened yet.
In this life, Du Juan calmly wiped away the blood and tears. Under the gentle skin, there is a soul burning with a century-old ice flame.
From a silk and satin shop to a textile empire, a shipping giant, and emerging industries... The name of Dujuan resounds throughout Shanghai. Some people call her "Mr. Du", while others call her "Female Yama". She smiled in response, with only cold clarity in her eyes: She wanted to build an unbreakable fortress before the stormy waves of the times.
Until, he met the biggest variable - Fucha Zhuangyu.
She couldn't avoid it.
He died to protect her in the previous life, but in this life she just wants him to be safe and well.
But he tore off all her disguises and insisted on being her accomplice in the chess game, rather than her protector.
"You have calculated all the secrets, but have you ever calculated -" He pressed her forehead, his breath hot, "I am willing to be the most advantageous piece in your hand to help you change the world. The condition is that the rest of your life belongs to me."
When she comes back from rebirth, she always wants to save more than a few lives.
What she wants to change is a history of turbulent mountains and rivers.
Intent: A legendary story about a woman who was reborn in the troubled times of the late Qing Dynasty and relied on her foresight to build a business empire, protect her loved ones, and realize her self-worth.
