Gu Yunjiao transmigrates into a book and becomes the true daughter, a villainous supporting character who does every evil deed imaginable and meets a miserable end.

Good news: She's bound to a Life Simulation System. She can return to the modern world if she either turns the fake daughter around or earns ten billion gold coins.

Bad news: When she arrives, the plot has bugged out. The original owner has been caught eloping with a peddler and is about to be drowned in a pig cage.

Turning the fake daughter around sounds too difficult, so Gu Yunjiao slams her hand on the table.

It's only ten billion! Help me up, I can still keep being an exploited workhorse!

She sells popsicles and grilled sausage-and-starch sticks outside a private school, pitches sheer stockings to rich young ladies, and makes a fortune with Golden Crow merchandise.

Later, Gu Yunjiao follows the plot back to the Prime Minister's residence. When her biological father, the prime minister, refuses to reveal the truth about the daughters' exchange in order to protect the fake daughter,

a decree arrives at the prime minister's residence, naming Gu Yunjiao the first imperial merchant of Chen and placing the economic lifeline of the entire nation under her control.

In his previous life, Qin Zhuofeng's wife ran off with another man, taking the family's money with her. His mother died of rage and grief. Thanks to his mentor's help, he was able to continue taking the civil service exams, pass them with top honors, and become a favorite at court.

Just as he was planning to marry his mentor's daughter to repay the kindness he'd received, his wife, who had eloped with another man, suddenly became the prime minister's legitimate daughter and demanded that he marry her again.

Qin Zhuofeng: ?

Reborn, Qin Zhuofeng arranges for his wife to be caught eloping, intending to watch her drown in the pond.

But to his surprise, she talks her way out of it in just a few words and is even willing to divorce him. This woman is nothing like she was before.

Later, Qin Zhuofeng watches Gu Yunjiao go from having nothing to being richer than a nation. He sees her grow close to all kinds of men around her, drifting in and out of relationships with them. His heart aches for no reason, yet there's nothing he can do.

When he finally works up the courage to confess his feelings to her, hoping to be by her side again as her husband,

she smiles and says, "I'm sorry. I just want to go home."

If only he'd known, he would never have divorced her in the first place.
