After Breaking Off the Engagement, He Became the God of Wealth

When Shen Yan woke up, he became the notorious dandy prince of the Beihou Mansion in Dayong Town. Not only was he heavily in debt, but he was also burdened with a marriage contract to the eldest princess Xiao Yuntang. As the wedding was approaching, Xiao Yuntang postponed the engagement in public, hoping to force him to break off the engagement. Unexpectedly, instead of being angry, Shen Yan demanded compensation for damage to her reputation and made a three-month bet: if she could earn enough 100,000 taels from scratch, the princess' mansion would publicly break off the engagement. Everyone in the capital was waiting to see his joke, but Shen Yan stirred up the capital with his "worry-relief shop". He used modern marketing methods to sell ideas, write storybooks, open restaurants, and build chambers of commerce, transforming himself from a prodigal who was despised by everyone to a God of Wealth that the rich and powerful fight for. As his business grew bigger and bigger, he gradually became involved in internal treasury shortages, imperial merchant monopoly, military pay in the north, and court battles. The three-month contract expired, and Shen Yan finally earned enough 100,000 taels. But this time, the person who didn't want to break off the engagement became the eldest princess.
