When a queen of capital meets a dormant god of war, a marriage-first, love-later romance becomes the ultimate corporate merger.
A car accident sends Su Wan, the CEO of a business empire, into the Great Zhou dynasty, where she becomes the legitimate daughter of a merchant family, forced to marry in another woman's place. On their wedding night, she hands the disabled Prince Jing, whose face is half-hidden behind a mask, a contract:
"A win-win partnership, with no interference in each other's affairs. I'll help you run the prince's residence, and you give me the dignity of a princess consort."
Shang Che, the Prince Jing rumored to be violent and gloomy, scans the terms and gives a faint smile:
"Deal."
And so the prince's residence becomes her new company:
She restructures loss-making businesses and takes them public, introduces KPIs to household management, and optimizes the intelligence network with big data.
When the residence's profits increase tenfold, when her enemies are ruined in business battles, and when her opponents at court are "acquired and liquidated" one by one, Su Wan finally realizes:
Her "disabled" partner's limp is an act, his weakness is a performance, and his hidden influence reaches throughout the court.
He watches her turn the world upside down, moving from scrutiny to admiration, until he drops every pretense when she is in danger.
Before an army of thousands, he stands with his bloodstained sword and shields her behind him:
"If anyone so much as lays a finger on her, I, this prince, will overturn the realm and become a true scourge to the nation and its people."
Is this a double-strong article this time? I like to see this kind of heroine who is calm, calm and wise.
