Also known as The Family Head
Cai Yuanzhen, the sole heir to the Cai family's paper business, was a hopeless romantic. She went to great lengths to marry the unfeeling Shen Yizhou, cutting off her family's future in the process.
Using the excuse of carrying on the family line, Shen Yizhou made Cai Yuanzhen give birth to one daughter after another over the course of five years: Zhaodi, Pandi, Niandi...
That year, while pregnant with her fifth child, Cai Yuanzhen discovered her cousin getting far too close to Shen Yizhou. Enraged, she was struck and suffered a miscarriage that killed them both.
After Cai Yuanzhen died, Shen Yizhou took over her family's wealth, destroyed the Cai family's century-old business, angered the elders of the Cai family to death, and married the cousin who had caused her death in a lavish sedan-chair wedding.
Cai Yuanyuan, a descendant of the Cai family from the twenty-first century, transmigrates into the thirteen-year-old Cai Yuanzhen, who is madly in love with Shen Yizhou. Given a second chance at life, she resolves to carry on her ancestors' legacy, take revenge on her scheming cousin, and cut all ties with Shen Yizhou, that scumbag.
How will future generations remember Cai Yuanzhen? After her, the family tree will need a whole new page.
Though Cai Xin and Cai Yuanzhen were both members of the Cai family, it seemed only natural for the man to go to the paper mill, while Cai Yuanzhen nearly had to give her life for the chance!
Her mother pleaded with her: "Building a career and earning glory are men's business. If you step forward to claim credit, you're acting like a rooster crowing at dawn."
Her second uncle scoffed: "Whatever a woman accomplishes, she should keep her achievements hidden."
Everyone urged her: "A woman should marry as soon as possible. Supporting her husband and raising children is the proper path."
But Cai Yuanzhen refused to be trapped inside a walled courtyard, spending her days looking at a sky cut into pieces.
She studied her craft, took charge, and governed...
This time, Cai Yuanzhen shattered the slander and crushed prejudice, standing tall above those who had once looked down on her!
Jiang Yu, once a wealthy young master who passed the provincial examinations at fourteen, once said, "Cai paper is terrible, like toilet paper."
Later, when the Jiang family fell and Jiang Yu was reduced to poverty, Cai Yuanzhen gave him a job without holding his past words against him. Knowing he was frail, she even paid a high price to hire a master to teach him martial arts.
Jiang Yu once asked Cai Yuanzhen why she treated him so well despite their past.
Cai Yuanzhen only smiled. After all, when the nation faced danger, Jiang Yu would pacify the borders and drive out its enemies.
A hero in hardship deserves support!

I don't quite understand why the heroine didn't tell her grandfather about the Zhou family
