A doting, fiercely protective Hong Kong tycoon × a clearheaded, money-making research genius
Shen Zhixia is a space engineer from the mid-21st century. From the start, she finds herself in a whirlwind marriage to the son of the Gu family in Hong Kong,
only to discover she is a cannon-fodder character in a novel who won't survive past chapter five.
Ever since she married into the Gu family, the eldest branch has been beset by injuries and disability,
while local gossip media vilify her as a country bumpkin from the mainland, calling her “a pig-slaughtering stool.”
Shen Zhixia had planned to keep her head down and stay alive,
but then she discovers that her husband, Gu Huaixin, is an upright gentleman framed by the novel's male and female leads.
Her husband has impeccable values and dotes on her.
Hurt her husband? Destroy his family? Shen Zhixia is furious.
Since she's ended up here, she'll change the fate of the Gu family's eldest branch.
She invests in a TV station to produce uplifting programs, establishes scholarships so talented people from the mainland can study in Hong Kong, and invests in technology...
On the eve of 1997, an emigration wave sweeps through and the property market collapses.
Everyone says Shen Zhixia is crazy to go against the market and buy at the bottom.
Her rival mocks her: “Mrs. Gu, a woman should play it safe. If you jump off a building, it'll make the papers, you know.”
She smiles calmly. “Don't trouble yourself. I've worked it out: prices can fall another 40 percent.”
In a corner, Gu Huaixin, who had come to back her up, stops and smiles at his assistant. “My wife's battles have never needed me to step in. Find out who's making things difficult for her, and get the evidence ready.”
