Against The Current

Shen Jialan, eldest granddaughter of Grand Secretary Shen, was betrothed to Lin Jinqi, heir of the powerful Lin family. When her grandfather was executed for treason and the Shen clan destroyed, the Lins broke the engagement to protect themselves, allying instead with the rising Zhao family. Jialan's mother had once aided Lin servant Xu Wanquan, whose family repaid the debt by substituting their deceased daughter Xu Lanxiang's identity for hers. As a third-tier maid in the Lin household, Lanxiang endured harsh servitude while defying fate. Through resilience, virtue, and wit, she overcame class barriers, earning Lin Jinqi's love and the family’s respect. Rising to lead the Lin dynasty, she reclaimed her true identity, exonerated her family, and dismantled systemic injustice.
