Ink-Stained Merchant Murder: I Manage Risk in Ancient Times

Li Zhiyuan never imagined that the unfinished business-strategy novel he had personally scrapped would become a script for his own death. As the son of Yangzhou's richest man, poisoned at the very beginning, he clings to every business-strategy trope whose logical flaws he once marked up. Between vermilion account books and bronze abacuses, someone is rewriting the chapter of your death. As the ink on the manuscript begins to devour reality, this duo, who play the pig to eat the tiger, launches its ultimate risk-control plan: rebuild the banknote system with modern financial thinking, and use big data to anticipate murderous plots against their master. In this struggle against the original author's will, can they rewrite the bloody world of commerce into their own ladder to godhood before the ink swallows the lifeblood of the imperial merchants?
