After a car accident caused her to transmigrate, Meng Chuyi became the little widow of the Jing'an Residence on the very first day of her new marriage.
A princess consort from the start, rich, with a dead husband.
Meng Chuyi: Such a good thing can happen in this world?
[Ding-dong! The Mistress System has been activated!]
[Main quest: Raise the respect of every concubine in the residence to 100, the reputation of Jing'an Residence to 100, and the residence's silver reserves to ten million taels.]
Only then did Meng Chuyi notice the whole courtyard of beauties her philandering late husband had left behind.
There was a flirtatious little firecracker who could dance on someone's palm, a pipa player as beautiful as Xi Shi but in delicate health, a dignified secondary consort who had already seized the position of household manager, and a charming beauty who wore lovely makeup and called her "Sister" at every turn...
Meng Chuyi's eyes lit up. Good, they're all my dear younger sisters.

Three years later, Jing'an's businesses had spread through every street and alley of the Great Song, including but not limited to cosmetics shops, theaters, newspaper offices, and fast-food stalls...
The world-famous dance master: At first, I was just a concubine in the prince's residence. Then one day, the princess consort asked if I had a dream.
The female manager of the leading business house: Without the princess consort, I wouldn't be where I am today.
The editor-in-chief setting the trends in the capital: Jing'an has only one most precious treasure. I'm sure you can guess who it is without me saying.
The young general prepared the betrothal gifts, drew her into his arms, and said gently, "My darling really is the most precious treasure."
Meng Chuyi smiled warmly. "Then call back those two young maids you sent away the other day. I know what you mean."
The general's expression turned cold. "No. From now on, the general's residence won't keep a single young maid."
Meng Chuyi: ...All right, then.
Theme: Women who seem delicate can also possess tremendous strength.
