When you stand in the endless dark night and look up at the stars, those stars twinkling like teardrops run into your eyes. My soul is complete, but my heart is broken. I am looking for myself in the pull of the extreme opposites, and I am lost in thought.

Li Wanxi, the legitimate daughter of the Li family, was born with the fate of Guishui, and was regarded as unlucky since she was a child. She struggled to survive in the cold treatment and hardships, but she always held on to the tenacity of "as long as she doesn't die, there is hope" and waited for the opportunity in the quagmire. At the age of twenty-three, she had a fortune teller reveal the mystery of her fate and she married Chen Jingyuan, the second young master of the Chen family - the son of an aristocratic family who had the appearance of a dragon and lurked in the abyss. From then on, her destiny was changed, like a dragon entering the sea, starting a counterattack. When she first entered the Chen family, she faced the seduction scheme of her concubine, the backstabbing and frame-up of her cousin and cousin, and the covetous power of her elder brother. She fought back one by one with thunderous means: setting up a trap to punish the greedy and foolish concubine, slapping her rapist cousin, exposing her cousin's betrayal conspiracy, purging the dissidents in the house, and relying on her extraordinary ingenuity to gain a foothold. After joining hands with Chen Jingyuan, the couple worked together in the business world: opening up trade routes in the Western Regions, pacifying pirates in the South Seas, opening Huitong Bank, and establishing a commercial territory across Europe and Asia; they defended themselves wisely in the court, defused rebellions by feudal lords, avoided disputes over the throne, and won the respect of the emperor and the love of the people as the "Mrs. Protector". From an orphan who was trampled in the mud to the business queen in charge of the business empire; from Guishui Ming who was bullied by others, to the Yipin Ming who protected the country and the people; from allies who respected each other as guests, to the true love who shared life and death. Li Wanxi used wisdom as her blade and resilience as her armor, and she managed step by step in the treacherous house fights, business wars, and court games. She not only reversed her own destiny, but also joined hands with Chen Jingyuan to compose a legend of "a husband and wife are of the same heart, and they can cut through gold". Her life was a blatant rebellion against fate, the ultimate manifestation of female power, and an immortal chapter about love, responsibility and dreams.
