Turning Trash into Treasure: Starting with a Fake-Dead Medusa

share time: 2026-02-11 00:41:56

Lin Chuan, the illegitimate son of the Jing'an Marquis Mansion in the Great Yan Dynasty, is treated as a 'waste' due to his humble birth mother—even his monthly allowance is withheld. One day, he picks up a stunning woman wrapped in a silver-scaled cloak with a weak pulse, only to discover that the snake-shaped birthmark on her fingertip can turn his broken silver pendant into top-grade black iron. This 'fake-dead Medusa' is Su Li, the 'Lord of Stone Spirits' who can control minerals! Using her 'trash-to-treasure' ability, Lin Chuan rises from selling ironware to running a mine, but this attracts the jealousy and assassination attempts of his legitimate brother. Su Li seems cold and glamorous, yet she uses snake vines to protect him when he takes a sword for her, blushing and saying, 'I just don't want to owe you.' But when Lin Chuan is ready to marry her, he learns that Su Li is the princess of the Snake Kingdom—destroyed by the Marquis Mansion years ago. Can this 'waste and Medusa' couple overcome their hatred, reverse their fortunes to seize power, and stay sweet all the way?
