At the moment she fell down the stairs, Xiao Xiao saw only the venomous smile in Li Keke’s eyes.
When she opened her eyes again, carved beams and painted rafters had become the suggestive gauze curtains of a brothel. She had been reborn in another world as a little maid in the Huan Chun House, at the mercy of anyone who wanted to use her. Memories of the original girl’s fatal betrayal surged through her mind. Penniless and trapped in a desperate situation, Xiao Xiao clenched her fist. She had died because of betrayal in her previous life. This time, she would never let anyone prey on her again!
To survive, she first had to keep a firm grip on her purse strings. Drawing on her memories of trade routes from her previous life, she secretly started a small business in the back courtyard of Huan Chun House, gradually amassing a fortune beyond imagination. As for those who had bullied the original girl, and the people who owed her a blood debt, she would settle the score with her own hands.
But fate refused to let her walk alone.
She met the jade-like young master of Huan Chun House, whose beauty could captivate all beneath heaven. In public, he was the brothel’s star performer, smiling as he played the qin. Turn around, though, and he was the mysterious owner who held power over the entire establishment. His gaze was always probing, yet whenever she was in trouble, he would quietly lend her a hand.
She crossed paths with the mysterious Seventh Prince, whose eyes behind his mask gave nothing away. Time and again, he put her in danger, only to protect her when she was at her most vulnerable.
And she reunited with her “older brother,” the young man named Jifeng, whose features were exactly like those of her brother in her previous life. Amid flashing blades and clashing swords, he always kept her behind him.
From brothels and taverns to bustling markets and trade, from secret moves in her revenge plot to adventures in the martial world, Xiao Xiao would take her abacus and conquer the world. She would make a fortune, and make her enemies pay in blood...
