Although Lin Shanyue was the true daughter of the family, what she received instead was a whole set of “services”: being disowned, swapped at marriage, and framed for crimes.
Taking along the little boy she had taken in, she headed to the imperial capital and worked hard to earn a living and build a new life.
Then, by chance, she discovered that the silver mirror in her home seemed to have developed a spirit of its own. It could grant whatever she asked for—unfamiliar foods, useful tools, and even guidance from the mirror spirit himself on how to do business and amass great wealth!
She rolled up her sleeves and got straight to work. Starting from selling her first piece of pastry and her first sachet of scented herbs, she gradually expanded her reach. Before long, she dominated the capital’s dessert, food and beverage, spice, and beauty industries, becoming a truly powerful and respected business owner.
She was never the delicate, fragile type of woman; instead, she had both strength and sharp wits.
Now, her biological parents were filled with regret, and the false daughter was burning with jealousy.
