Jiang Zao is the legitimate second daughter of the Xia family, though she bears the surname Jiang. Reborn on her wedding day, she remembers a previous life in which she married Jiang Jinfeng and helped him rise to become the richest man, while her stepsister Xia Chuwei married Fu Yanci and suffered a miserable fate. Determined to change her own destiny, she rushes to prevent Fu Yanci’s car accident and rescues him from the wreckage, earning the deep gratitude of the Fu family. After Fu Yanci survives with a regressed intelligence (that of a three‑year‑old), she assumes the role of his devoted caretaker, calling him “A‑Ci” and patiently explaining the world to him. At the same time, she is fiercely protective: she confronts gossiping socialites on a boat, threatens to affect their husbands’ business deals, and slaps Xia Chuwei for disrespecting her husband. Jiang Zao is pragmatic and independent; she accepts the sham marriage arrangement, uses Fu Yanci’s funds when necessary, and prepares to work at Fu Corporation to build her own career. Her relationship with her maternal family is strained, especially with her biological mother who favors Xia Chuwei, but she finds a supportive environment in the Fu household under Old Madam Fu’s wing.
