A ruthless, ambitious merchant with a disastrous start x an upright, powerful official who gets hooked without realizing it
Yu Qinghe, an inheritor of Suzhou embroidery, transmigrates into a book as a disgraced merchant supporting character.
To make matters worse, she gets bound to an Honest Business System.
Even when relatives exploit her and friends betray her, she sticks to her principles.
Instead, she starts to take a liking to the stubborn county magistrate who's been demoted.
One day, Yu Qinghe watches her female apprentice embroider a piece of double-sided embroidery and is overcome with excitement. She gives Shen Que a kiss, then drinks herself into a stupor.
The next time they meet, Shen Que says solemnly, “I have loved you for a long time.”
Yu Qinghe: Huh? Don't you hate merchants?
-
To Yu Qinghe, after seeing too much of life's warmth and coldness and the wickedness of people's hearts, having enough to eat and warm clothes to wear is life's top priority.
Only later, after seeing the world and meeting all kinds of people,
does she learn that there are still people trapped in hardship, driven from their homes.
And there are people willing to be everlasting lamps, lighting up the darkest nights.
The world bustles with people seeking wealth and profit.
But to her, one person is a lantern on a secluded path, a firefly in the mountains, and a bright moon in the forest.
At the end of the long night, all she hopes for is someone to stay by her side.
P.S.:
They have their flaws, but they're all good kids.
The System is there to keep her on track. Relying on yourself is what matters most.
Theme: Honesty above all.
