The Chen family has children from One to Five. As the youngest, Chen Five is the only one in the family who takes her studies seriously, and everyone pins their hopes on her. Her parents, brothers, and sisters all expect her to pass the imperial exams and rise to greatness.
Chen Five sighs, unable to understand.
She's the youngest of the Chen family, and a girl! How could she possibly sit the imperial exams?
The more she studies, the more ideas she gets. Looking at the impoverished Chenjia Village, she resolves to make something of herself. She packs her bags and heads north to the capital, using her brother Chen Four's identity. After all, she has a fourth brother who also ran away from home.
Year after year, her Dafafa tea stall thrives.
In theory, all she has to do now is run the business and watch the money roll in... But then!
The jianghu's feuds keep spilling onto her turf, and her stall gets wrecked again and again. The only person she knows in the capital, an older man from her village, dies under mysterious circumstances, drawing her into the case. She even gets tangled up with one of the key figures behind the palace coup that brought down the previous dynasty...
Isn't she just Chen Five, the youngest daughter of the poor Chen family, and the youngest child of Chen Dafa?
Could she have a hidden identity, too?
Plot-driven, with a slow-burn romance.
A clever, savvy, and resilient heroine x a scheming hero with a whole lot of backstory.
Theme: I am who I am, a one-of-a-kind firework.
