At the tender age of five, Shen Guiyan was able to recite a thousand-word essay, at the age of six she played the zither and composed her own poems, at the age of seven she burned incense and became a poet, and at the age of eight she was betrothed to the son of the prime minister. Everyone said she was born of a Phoenix Jade* and had a good destiny.

But then a woman arrives from the modern era and turns her direct sister from a barbarian to a witty one, stealing her husband and harming her birth mother, and toppling her from the sky, laughing wildly: “How can a mere feudal woman compete with a modern 21st century woman?”

Conspiracy and deceptions changed her fate, her growing belly ruined her marriage, caused her to be married to a simple merchant’s son, who ruined her on the wedding night, yet all of this just helped to fulfill a strange destiny.

According to a nutcase monk, her fate will be a great disaster when she reaches maturity, a great joy when she reaches her second decade, and a great sorrow when her hair turns white.

Shen Guiyan does not believe in fate, she only believes that man will prevail over God.

Those who owe her will have to pay her back. Those who have harmed her will eventually go to hell. Is it something great to cross over? To be reborn? Even if you have ten or eight golden fingers**, I will chop them all up for you!

“Your sister is actually a kind person.” Gu Chaobei said this.

“What’s so kind about her?” Shen Guiyan sneered coldly.

“At least she let me meet you. If I hadn’t met you, I don’t know how boring life would have been.”

*Phoenix Jade: Phoenix carved from a Jade, symbolizing outstanding talents and superior abilities.

**Golden Fingers: A gold finger is basically a cheat power/ability.

Thé story has a good plot, good flow and a lot of twists and turns. But I disliked both leads so much. They do suit each other as FL is the perfect assist to ML but she isn't really smart or interesting. Same with the male lead, though author gave him smart moves he doesn't come across as smart. Their love is torturing and honestly not worth it, at least not in my eyes. The ML never redeemed himself for me.
