The Silkworm of a Splendid Realm

Shen Lang, a passionate young man from a family of silkworm breeders, inherits a secret technique for raising the legendary spirit silkworms. From the start, his family business is suppressed by the century-old Yun Jin Alliance, his fiancée breaks off their engagement, and the family fortune teeters on the brink of bankruptcy. Armed with silkworm-raising techniques far ahead of their time and the cunning to hide his strength until the right moment, Shen Lang repeatedly turns the tables. Along the way, he meets Su Zhijin, a transmigrated woman with modern knowledge who owns an embroidery workshop. The two hit it off: Shen Lang provides peerless spirit silk, while Su Zhijin brings revolutionary designs and business ideas. Together, they found the Number One Silk Under Heaven and challenge the established commercial order. They face off in one thrilling business battle after another against the hypocritical, scheming head of the merchant alliance and ambitious princes and nobles, fighting price wars, shaping public opinion, competing for supply chains, and even making moves at court. In the end, Shen Lang not only builds a vast silk empire, but also influences the fate of the nation as a merchant when the country is in peril and helps a wise ruler secure the throne. He realizes his grand vision of strengthening the nation through commerce, forging a legend that takes him from a humble young man to a business titan.
