The Spoiled Heir's Bones

[A Prodigal’s Counterstrike! Shattered Porcelain Uncovers a Thirty-Million-T liang Business Opportunity] Xiao Zhan, the Yunlan Dynasty’s number-one spendthrift, smashes half a set of imperial-kiln celadon in the street just to force the Salt Gang’s smuggling ledgers into the open. He spends a million taels to buy a songstress’s freedom, but is really setting an ingenious “battle-scar porcelain” trap at a black-market pawnshop. Everyone laughs at his absurd antics, unaware that the shards in his sleeve bear the coordinates of a silver mine left behind by his father, while the jade thumb ring in his palm conceals a fragment of the Merchant’s Way Handbook. This time, what he loses is coral and treasure; what he gains is a livelihood for three thousand salt workers.

See how the leader of the Cocoon-Breaking Alliance wields “profligacy” as a blade, severing the Gold-Devouring Alliance’s vast monopoly and piecing together a way to “turn broken bones into business” from shards of porcelain. With the chief seat’s token of the Ten Thousand Merchants Office in hand, he picks up his brush and rewrites the rules of commerce: “In my book, losers don’t die. They can turn into gold!” A counterattack that will overturn a thousand years of commerce roars to life from a playboy’s wine cup.
