Shen Liuli was once the only daughter of Jiangnan’s richest man. Raised in a world of splendor, she learned the art of turning a profit at the sound of an abacus.
In a single night, disaster struck her family and flames consumed everything. She alone escaped with her life, carrying a bloodstained ledger.
Ten years later, a business called the Brocade Moon Pavilion opens in the busiest part of the capital. Its owner, Madam Liuli, is a stunning beauty with a gift for turning anything into gold. Using modern supply-chain thinking, she upends traditional industries, manipulates grain prices with futures, and lures her enemies into a securities trap.
Her old enemies rise to fame and fortune one by one, only to be ruined in business battles and left in constant fear.
At last, she sets her sights on the final target: the Imperial Uncle, a powerful figure at court and once her fiancé.
But as he gazes intently at the scar at the corner of her eye, even with her trap closing around him, he says, “Liuli, I know it’s you. For ten years, I’ve waited for you to return, so I could give everything back to you with my own hands.”
