After spending tens of thousands of years as an ordinary-looking peahen, Zhu Liu envied the beautiful feathers of peacocks most of all.
Driven by her love of beauty, she finally cultivated an immortal body through diligence and talent, becoming a newly acclaimed goddess in the immortal realm.
Before she could enjoy her success for more than a few days, a bolt of lightning struck her into a book, where she became Zhu Liu, the second female lead who loved the second male lead but could never win his heart.
Zhu Liu’s family owns a clothing factory, but she has no interest in running it. All she wants is to marry into a wealthy family.
She has been hopelessly in love with the cold second male lead for ten years.
She adores him, goes crazy for him, and throws herself against a wall for him again and again.
Unfortunately, the only woman in his heart is the female lead.
When her family’s clothing factory teeters on the brink of bankruptcy, Zhu Liu tries to use her childhood engagement to the second male lead to cling to him and change her fate.
In return, she can’t even get him to look her way.
Instead, she earns herself the label of a scheming woman.
Zhu Liu surveys her nearly perfect body, overjoyed.
With a face so beautiful it could put flowers to shame, she ought to have an entire grassland at her disposal. Why covet just one blade of grass...
She also discovers that
those outrageously expensive clothes and jewels aren’t as beautiful as the things she makes.
At last, her years of practicing sewing and crafting hairpins come in handy.
A business opportunity has arrived...
There’s no way she’s going bankrupt.
Why marry into a wealthy family when she can become one herself?

Shang Yu notices that the woman who used to spend every day trying to please him
now devotes herself to running her clothing factory and building an image of self-reliance.
She gets more excited over five yuan than she does over him.
Shang Yu watches coldly: Pretending to be my type won’t work.
After Zhu Liu goes n days without contacting Shang Yu,
Shang Yu finally can’t hold back and asks his assistant, “Is that woman still tinkering away in the factory?”
The assistant replies, “President, she’s already opened a shop.”
Not long after,
the assistant says, “President, she’s opened another shop.”
A little later,
the assistant says, “President, she’s opened a studio, specializing in high-end custom designs.”
The president: “...” The woman who kept saying she couldn’t live without me? Hah. Women.
A little peahen who loves beauty, cherishes her life to the utmost, and takes things as they come VS a big gray wolf who wonders every day whether she still loves him
A silly comedy
