Gourmet + opening a shop + building a fortune
Song Zhizhi had spent three years trying to land a civil service job, and finally made it!
Who knew the heavens had gone blind?
One second after she made it, a car accident sent her straight to the afterlife.
When she opened her eyes again, the family had nothing, and her grandparents played favorites.
A voice sounded in her mind: “Master.”
She was so excited she passed out before she could catch her breath. She had a System!
Later, from boneless chicken feet and lemon water to milk tea, hot pot, and skewers, she grew a tiny stall in town into a chain across the capital. She blazed her way to becoming the Great Zhou dynasty’s richest woman.
Then an imperial decree banished her to Lingnan.
The reason: “Merchants disrupt the people’s livelihood and spread heretical ideas.”
She laughed. “What a baseless charge.”
She had taken in a man whose three legs were all crippled, but now he stepped forward.
“We plead guilty.”
Song Zhizhi: “??? Talk about biting the hand that feeds you.”
She glared fiercely at him, but his eyes held a meaning she couldn’t decipher.
