Corporate drone and CEO Ling Weiqiu transmigrates into an imaginary dynasty as its bankrupt empress.
At court, powerful ministers have sidelined her. Beyond its borders, enemies encircle the realm. The treasury is so empty you could gallop through it, and she has only thirty days left to live.
Ling Weiqiu binds herself to the [Emperor Sign-In System]. If she skips court, it deducts from her lifespan.
"You want to play power games with me? First, let's see if any of you meet your performance targets!"
She runs the dynasty like a company, uses supply chain management to solve the spiritual stone crisis, and attracts cultivators from across the land with brand marketing.
The great clans call her a heretic, but she uses financial tactics to make the entire cultivation world work for her.
The haughty heir of an enemy state only meant to watch the show, but discovers that all his talent for formations is being put to work helping her build infrastructure. "Woman, these tricks of yours... are you sure you're not possessed by some demon?"
Just when she has finally made the nation rich and its armies strong, she discovers that this world is nothing more than an "experimental site" for ancient immortals and gods.
Ling Weiqiu stands atop the imperial court and smiles calmly at the mastermind behind it all.
"I only wanted to make money. Since you don't want to do business properly..."
"Then I suppose I'll just acquire every last one of you."
This is the exhilarating tale of an overachieving empress who uses modern business thinking to turn the cultivation world upside down, until even the Heavenly Dao works for her.
Its most distinctive feature is the combination of a cultivation worldview and political intrigue, and it contains a lot of useful tidbits that are also relevant to modern people.
