Guan Xuxu is an eighteen-year-old girl who has spent her entire life as a sacrificial tool for her adoptive family, the Guans. She was adopted specifically because her birth chart possessed a Qian-Kun compatibility with her adoptive sister, Guan Ruirui, allowing Guan Xuxu to absorb and ward off misfortunes destined for Ruirui. For seventeen years, she endured neglect, abuse, and exploitation from her adoptive parents, Bai Shuqin and Guan Baocheng, who viewed her solely as a talisman to protect their beloved biological daughter. The breaking point arrives four days after her college entrance exams when Guan Xuxu is thrown over twenty meters by a car while saving Ruirui. Instead of receiving medical attention or concern, she overhears her adoptive parents coldly discussing how her death would be convenient, as it would permanently ward off Ruirui's major calamity. This revelation shatters her last attachment to the family.
Upon recovering, Guan Xuxu returns to the Guan villa only to be immediately evicted. Bai Shuqin accuses her of stealing the city image representative slot from Ruirui, a charge Guan Xuxu denies. The family demands she leave with nothing, offering only a pittance for travel expenses to her supposed remote, impoverished birth parents. Guan Xuxu calmly agrees to sever all ties, repaying the upbringing costs to clear any karmic debt, ensuring she can act against them in the future without consequence. Her only demand is the jade bracelet left to her by her beloved grandmother, the only family member who ever showed her genuine love. When Ruirui refuses to return it, Guan Xuxu predicts she will reclaim it soon before departing.
As Guan Xuxu leaves, a fleet of over a dozen private helicopters descends upon the villa district. Jiang Huai, her biological brother, emerges to welcome her home, revealing that their biological family is not poor but owns the entire mountain range where they reside. They are members of the Jiang family, one of the four most powerful elite families in Haishi City. Accompanying Jiang Huai is Chu Beihe, the head of the rival Chu family, who radiates an intense golden aura that signifies immense national contribution. Guan Xuxu, possessing the ability to see qi fortune colors, is intrigued by him.
At the Jiang family manor, Guan Xuxu is welcomed by her grandfather and father, Jiang Yucheng, the president of Jianghai Group. However, the reunion is interrupted by the arrival of Bai Shuqin and Guan Ruirui, who have come to demand the return of the city representative spot and to slander Guan Xuxu as an ungrateful, ill-mannered outsider. Bai Shuqin attempts to manipulate the situation by claiming Guan Xuxu is merely a maid in the household, only to be horrified when the butler reveals that Guan Xuxu is the long-lost young lady of the Jiang family. Enraged by the Guan family's disrespect and learning of their past abuse, Jiang Yucheng immediately cancels the lucrative cooperation deal with the Guan family, dealing them a severe financial blow.
Back in the Jiang household, Guan Xuxu demonstrates her metaphysical abilities by detecting yin evil on a maid, Sister Wu. She accuses the maid of using a luck-stealing talisman to siphon the family's wealth aura, a claim initially met with skepticism by her cousin Jiang Su and foster sister Lu Xuexi. However, when a buried packet containing blood-written talismans and hair is unearthed, and Sister Wu’s son is found to have won a five-million-yuan lottery prize, the family is forced to acknowledge her powers. Guan Xuxu further deduces that Sister Wu had previously stolen the intelligence of the Song family’s daughter to cure her own son’s intellectual disability, a revelation that implicates a larger conspiracy. As Guan Xuxu settles into her new life, she begins to navigate the complex dynamics of the Jiang family while preparing to reclaim her birthright and exact justice on those who wronged her.
