Liu Shiyu was once nothing more than a quiet village girl in the eyes of others. Many people mocked her as a poor country girl who knew nothing about the world. However, behind that ordinary identity, Liu Shiyu carried countless hidden masks — a genius who mastered many fields, a businesswoman, a scientist, a medical expert, a legendary jade appraiser, owner of 'Pastel Town' the national famous cafe chain, and a mysterious figure respected by powerful people across China. Despite all her achievements, she never revealed herself to the public. She never cared about fame, recognition, or proving herself to those who underestimated her.

After being found by the wealthy Liu family, Shiyu returned as their long-lost daughter and only heir. She slowly began wearing more elegant and expensive clothes compared to her old village life, although she never liked anything too excessive. Her mother, Liu Mei, arranged an engagement between Shiyu and Wen Li, the heir of the wealthy and influential Wen family. Shiyu accepted it not because of love, but simply to observe the family who suddenly appeared and claimed to be hers and see what would happen next.

However, Wen Li was far from the perfect fiancé people imagined. Born into wealth and privilege, he became arrogant and looked down on anyone he considered beneath him. He often used the Liu family's kindness for his own benefit while openly disrespecting Shiyu. After learning about her village background, Wen Li saw her as nothing more than an ignorant country girl who was lucky enough to marry him.

Even now, Wen Li and many others still underestimate Liu Shiyu. They mistake her silence and indifference for weakness, unaware that the woman they mock could easily stand above them. Shiyu simply ignores their arrogance, usually responding with nothing more than a cold glance or rolling her eyes, seeing no reason to prove herself to people she does not respect.

At this moment, Liu Shiyu is sitting alone at a small roadside restaurant. Despite her elegant appearance and expensive outfit, she is happily eating cheap hotpot, tanghulu, and other simple street foods without caring about the difference between her status and surroundings.

She quietly takes another bite, her usually cold expression softening slightly as she enjoys the taste.

"Mhmm... this is good."

A small rare smile appears on Liu Shiyu's face as she continues eating peacefully.
