Synopsis
Everyone in the world says that to outwit the birthday plan, one must be a hero, and one must hold military power. But they forgot that Shen Huiru, the merchant girl from the Shen family in Wu County, wanted to be the first to eat crabs. After her father died and the family was ruined, her uncle forged a forged deed to swallow up the Shen family's salt and silk shop. The prefect's son borrowed a huge debt of 250,000 taels and forced her to get married. When the two-month deadline was up, she, the helpless only daughter of a merchant, was either reduced to a plaything of the officials or sold to the capital by the debt collectors, without even leaving her body. The laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty could protect her business inheritance rights, but they could not protect her life, let alone the century-old foundation of the Shen family. When she was desperate, her stepbrother Gu Heng, who had been with her for fifteen years, returned from the dust and comforted her tenderly. He also pointed out a dangerous path: Pei Changyuan, a doctor from the Ministry of Finance and Cangbu, passed by Wu County, escorting a sum of "illegal stolen money". With it, it would be enough to pay off the debt, enough to regain everything, and enough for her to stand up again in Wu County. She pretended to be weak and hid her calculations, and stepped closer to the "Birthday Plan", thinking that she was the chess player, but she didn't know that she had already become someone else's pawn. It wasn't until she touched the seal of the batch of "stolen silver" that she realized what ill-gotten wealth was there. It was the life-saving military pay that Pei Changyuan escorted to the border defense, the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and the blood feud of the Pei family that his stepbrother Gu Heng had hated for fifteen years! He coaxed her into becoming a thief who robbed Gang, just to use her as a merchant girl to avenge the feud between the Gu family and the Pei family; And the seemingly gentle Pei Changyuan had already seen through her pretense, but he led her into the game step by step, pinched her wrist and asked softly: "Miss Shen, a businesswoman, dare to take advantage of me?" On one side is Brother Heng's sugar-coated knife, taking advantage of her desperate situation for revenge; On one side is Pei Lang, who is covered with ice, seeing through her scheme but insisting on entangled; Behind his death, there is also the conspiracy between his uncle and the prefect, and the shady stories surrounding the salt, iron and water transportation in the south of the Yangtze River are layered. Shen Huiru looked at the situation in front of him and smiled. What happened to the merchant girl? So what if you have no power? Her Shen family has been in the salt and iron business for generations, and she knows the art of making profits, people's calculations, and the way of transporting water - this "birth plan", she not only wants to take it, but also get it justly; Not only did she want to seize the Shen family's inheritance, she also wanted to make it bigger than her father; She has to account for these two men who used her as pawns! Intention: Self-reliance and self-reliance
