Summary
Synopsis:
Lian Liejin transmigrated to a continent called Pengqiu, where people worshipped the power of the stars. Everyone could comprehend the Dao by observing the heavens and become a stellar cultivator.
Everyone except her.
Yet she possessed another kind of terrifying power.
If anyone discovered it, she would be inviting death. Thus, in everyone else’s eyes, she was merely a privileged good-for-nothing.
Her biological mother and good-for-nothing father therefore arranged an engagement between her and the Seventh Princess, Gao Jingxi, hoping the marriage would offer her some protection.
Marrying a princess meant being barred from officialdom for life, living off one’s wife, and losing all freedom.
But heavens knew that the money-loving Lian Liejin only wanted to open an online pharmacy and embark on the road to riches.
Lian Liejin: “…Living off my wife might not taste great, but at least it’ll keep me fed.”
Meanwhile, the Seventh Princess, Gao Jingxi—rumored to possess beauty capable of flourishing in an age of prosperity, as well as a noble and aloof temperament—had actually long since fallen for someone else.
Unexpectedly, on the first night of their marriage, the two women who could not stand the sight of each other somehow struck a spark…
