After Refusing to Become a Prince Consort, I Became a Business God

The Great Song Dynasty's Merchant Road: A Godlike Legend Without Becoming a Prince Consort follows the Chen family's thousand-year mercantile legacy, telling a business saga that spans the ages. In the Northern Song, Chen Yuan turns down the position of prince consort and opens trade routes to every nation through "mutual trust and shared prosperity," earning the name "Sage of Commerce." During the Daoguang era, Chen Jingzhi uses the principles of commerce to resist foreign merchants and protect the nation's interests. During the War of Resistance, Chen Zhenbang wields logistics as a blade, building a lifeline to the front. After Reform and Opening Up, Chen Kaifang dares to lead the way and rides the crest of a new wave of commerce. In the modern era, Chen Keji uses AI to empower global trade. In 2120, Chen Xingji carries the thousand-year-old spirit of commerce into the stars, opening interstellar trade routes.

Passed down through thirty-five generations, the Sage of Commerce token has traveled from a tavern in Bianjing to a commercial city on Mars, from camel caravans to interstellar freighters. The founding ideal of "protecting the nation through commerce and benefiting the people" has never wavered. The Chen descendants step forward in times of crisis and uphold fairness when rules are at stake. Drawing on a thousand years of commercial wisdom, they overcome crises and lead the way, making the "Spirit of the Sage of Commerce" an eternal emblem of human civilization and fulfilling the ultimate legend of becoming a god without ever being a prince consort.
