"Character Profiles
Shen Ruyi
A merchant's daughter who married into nobility with a fortune, only to watch it crumble overnight. While her scholar husband wrings his hands and her in-laws wail about lost glory, Ruyi digs their last silver from her shoe sole and drags the entire household into the workforce. Sharp-tongued, pragmatic, and utterly ruthless when cornered, she transforms from pampered young madam into the family's backbone—turning ""fallen heiress"" fashion into a business empire while fending off jealous rivals. She doesn't ask for permission; she takes what's owed.
Pei Heng
The third-place imperial scholar who once lived on bird's nest soup and poetic ideals, now reduced to testing laxatives and ghostwriting love letters comparing women to braised pork. Bookish, physically useless, and initially paralyzed by shame, Pei Heng slowly sheds his scholar's pride under his wife's iron hand. Beneath the helplessness lies unexpected loyalty—when push comes to shove, he'll grab a broom and fight. His journey from ""ornamental husband"" to functioning adult is equal parts humiliating and heroic.
Dowager Lady Pei
A first-rank noblewoman who once rinsed her mouth with premium tea, now teaching etiquette to a general's feral daughter while dodging attack dogs. Clinging desperately to aristocratic airs even as she clutches chipped bowls, the Dowager represents old-world dignity colliding with new-world survival. Her transformation from imperious matriarch to working grandmother—complaining every step but ultimately compliant—adds both comic relief and poignant commentary on adaptability. She'll take the money, but she won't stop grumbling about it."
