✨ Story Summary
Jin Xiangyu, daughter of a wealthy merchant, marries into the declining Lu family. Her husband Lu Ting returns from campaigns with three women he intends to take as concubines. Refusing to become a casualty of inner-courtyard strife, she uses her business talent to turn her dowry into a thriving commercial network. Just as she seeks a divorce, she discovers Lu Ting’s new bride is a foreign spy and that her own business layout holds the key to undermining an enemy nation.
