After transmigrating, Shen Fujing finds herself the most destitute flatbread seller in the imperial capital of the Great Liang dynasty. Her home is bare, her stove is cold, her roof is falling apart, and she is drowning in debt.
So the unlucky woman, who had been plagued by misfortune in her past life, rolls up her sleeves. She refuses to believe she will still have terrible luck in ancient times!
But this time, fate really does open a window for her:
A silver dart worth three taels suddenly appears on the chicken coop fence!
A precious sword worth thirty taels drops right through her thatched roof!
And just a few days later, a wanted criminal with a three-hundred-tael bounty is found unconscious in her courtyard...
With a bulging purse in hand, Shen Fujing repairs her stove overnight and sets up shop!
Her dough is springy and translucent, and the sauce she simmers fills half the street with its aroma. From her first basket of soup dumplings to sizzling, oil-dripping meat pancakes, her stall has a long line in front of it in less than half a month.
[The Male Lead's Perspective]
I am the young master of a military family and the top assassin of Fanlou. One day, I land a big job: assassinate a young woman selling flatbreads on an imperial city street.
Though I have endured countless trials and my heart is as cold as iron, I cannot help feeling pity for a frail young woman who could not hurt a fly. So I decide to give her a quick death!
Who could have known that the first time I throw a dart, she would bend down... and it would land in the chicken coop.
The second time, I leap in with my sword, and her thatched house collapses... then the sword is sold for thirty taels.
The third time, just as I am about to succeed, a flower thief suddenly appears from nowhere...
After countless failed attempts and fending off eight waves of rivals, I finally turn around to find that the young woman has become filthy rich and is holding a martial arts tournament to find a husband!
But this time, the competition is a little hard to kill.
No matter! With me around, no one will be born who can get within half a step of the young woman and live!

Just as Shen Fujing starts to have a little spending money, plenty of men start eyeing her. But she knows perfectly well that all they want is her money!
Luckily, she personally picked up a starving young man.
The young man has refined features and a stunning face, like some young master who ran away from home, yet he insists on staying at her place.
Shen Fujing is planning to turn him into a live-in son-in-law for the Shen family, but the young master turns the tables and insists on marrying her! He even says that she made her fortune thanks to him, so half of everything she earns belongs to him.
How could that be?
Spending money on a man brings a lifetime of bad luck!
