Shen Nanzhi was the eldest daughter of the young minister of Guanglu Temple. She was born extremely well, but she was suppressed for twelve years by her stepmother Wang. Outsiders only think that she has good looks but a soft temper. During a house search, her sister took away her late mother's belongings. Shen Nanzhi dug out Wen Ji's old receipts from the old wooden box and found that her mother's dowry had been tampered with.
She checked the old bills and found out that this was not just a case of property seizure. The old properties of the Wen family, the Shen family's workshop, the purchase of raw silk, the old accounts of Guanglu Temple, and even the unjust case of witchcraft by Concubine Hui in the palace are all hidden behind this account line.
The seventh son of the emperor, Gu Chenbei, was a well-known good-for-nothing prince in the capital, a lackey in cockfighting, and a drunkard at the night market. But he pretended to be useless for many years, just to find out the truth about the unjust death of his mother and concubine. A marriage was granted, and the weak legitimate daughter married the good-for-nothing prince. The whole capital was laughing, but they were the only ones who knew that the other party was also acting.
In the family fight, she forced the Wang family to retreat and won back her biological mother's status; in the palace fight, she helped Gu Shenbei uncover the unjust case of Concubine Hui, and the queen was deposed; in the power plot, the two fought against the old network of the Jin royal party and the Zheng family, and finally locked up the evidence of Zheng Boqian's crime.
Intention: When people are pushed by fate, they still have to fight for the right to choose themselves. The growth of the two is not a simple comeback, but a transformation from seeking an exit for themselves to being willing to fight for fairness, dignity and choice for more trapped people around them.
