Cheng Jinxiu thinks her path will be to reform her awful relatives, build a fortune, and lead them all to prosperity.
Who could have guessed that her origins would suddenly take a dramatic turn, transforming a poor farm girl into the legitimate daughter of a Duke's household, switched at birth?

At long last, he meets the woman he loves and plans to marry her.
But he discovers that a few reckless fools are always getting in his way.
