Jiang Mingtang, a fiercely ambitious corporate overachiever, suddenly finds herself transported into a historical romance novel as the marquis household’s long-lost true daughter. The moment she returns home, the fake heiress begins plotting against her and her fiancé publicly breaks off their engagement. Just when everything seems to be falling apart, Mingtang activates a “10-Billion Subsidy” system: complete missions, earn points, and exchange them for enough wealth to return to the modern world financially set for life. Determined to rack up points and leave as quickly as possible, she begins navigating a dangerous circle that includes a cold and formidable heir, a mysterious young nobleman, a chess-obsessed gentleman, and the calculating crown prince. Mingtang plans to stay detached and disappear once her goal is reached—but instead, she gradually becomes the woman none of them can seem to stay away from. Adapted from the Tomato Novel 京阙折枝（黑莲花略施心机，各路大佬全沦陷） by Wen Zaizai.
