However, when the Regent Prince kneels and begs the Empress Dowager to make Liu Qingwan his principal consort, she voluntarily requests a divorce. After leaving the prince's residence, she establishes her independence through the businesses and properties she has secretly built up: Jinhua Workshop, Baicao Hall, Zuixian Restaurant, and farmland. Joining forces with Shen Ce to trade tea permits, she earns the admiration of the Empress Dowager and the Grand Princess, becoming a prominent businesswoman in Shengjing. She investigates the crimes of Zhou Huan and the Liu family, and helps the Grand Princess dismantle Liu Hongyuan's private army, ultimately bringing down the Liu family and having Liu Qingwan demoted. Determined never to see the Regent Prince again, she transforms from an abandoned consort into a remarkable woman who controls her own destiny and reshapes the imperial court.
