This second daughter has a tragic life. Although she is the legitimate daughter of the second branch of the Dechang Marquis Mansion, her father is the least favored among his siblings. Consequently, the decree that originally betrothed her cousin Xu Qinwei to the exiled King Xu somehow ends up with her.
Even in the southwestern borderlands, Xu Qinyu remains undaunted. With her culinary skills, she introduces various cuisines, snacks, milk tea, ice cream, hot pot, and barbecue, earning money to buy land and striving to become a landlady in ancient times.
Her husband is often absent for months, but she doesn't mind. She enjoys a wealthy and leisurely life without a man, supported by her mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and other family members, living in a luxurious mansion she earned herself.
Years later, on a snowy day, hundreds of black-armored guards surround their mansion, announcing, "We respectfully invite the Empress, the Empress Dowager, the Princess, the Prince, and the County Princess to return to the capital."
Xu Qinyu and her family are stunned. Her husband has seized the throne! Now, she faces the dilemma of continuing as a landlady or becoming the Empress.
Meanwhile, Xu Qinwei, who has been reborn, regrets her past actions. In her previous life, she schemed to have her cousin marry the exiled King Xu, who later seized the throne. She believed her cousin would die soon after being exiled, allowing her to marry King Xu herself. However, her cousin not only survived but thrived, becoming wealthy and even invited back to the capital to be the Empress.
