The day I transmigrated as Lin Yi, the legitimate daughter of a merchant family, I was crying my eyes out at my scumbag ex’s wedding.
I opened my eyes to find my father’s concubine pointing at me and scolding, “All this girl does is fuss over flowers and plants. She’ll never amount to anything!”
I looked down at the wilted peony in my hand and smiled.
Three months later, the ladies and young misses of the whole city were clamoring to buy my “Everlasting Bloom” perfumed dew.
Six months later, my flower cosmetics shop had opened right outside the palace gates.
The father who once thought me useless now begs me to give his other daughter some pointers.
That handsome young gentleman who keeps dropping by the shop turns out to be a rising star at court.
He raises an eyebrow as he holds my account book. “My dear, you’re so good at making money that your husband’s salary may as well gather dust.”
I blink. “Husband, have you ever heard of a publicly traded company?”
The writing is very good and worth reading. This time-travel novel is very imaginative. The heroine traveled through time and became the legitimate daughter of a merchant and was rejected, but she counterattacked by playing with flowers and plants. Many people came to buy perfume from being ridiculed as useless, and the shop opened next to the palace. The interaction with the upstarts of the day is interesting, and the heroine's sentence "listed company" is even more eye-catching. The collision of the "ancient and modern" elements is unique and exciting.
