[Career-minded heroine × seemingly gentle but secretly sinister prince]
Tang Wu, an overworked investment department specialist, works herself to death and transmigrates into the bankrupt madam of a brothel.
She takes a leak and somehow pees on a legendary God of War prince, then gets dragged into a political struggle with the Crown Prince.
It’s a disastrous start, but she’s determined to defy fate.
So
She opens an embroidery shop specializing in palace commissions and helps the girls become business owners.
She optimizes the canal transport network, cutting military grain shipping costs by 30 percent.
She launches Cloud Garments Pavilion and hires handsome men as sales staff. The noblewomen of the capital line up to spend their money.
Finally, she turns the brothel into a top-tier hot spring club, where wealthy women can meet male models.
Scarcity marketing. Memberships.
Book now, and the waitlist goes all the way to next year.
The Crown Prince tries to force her into marriage? She hits back with ironclad proof that his maternal relatives are smuggling weapons.
The prince is attacked? She stays up all night doing the books, then raids the enemy’s secret treasury.
But then she realizes that it was all part of Xiao Che’s calculations, and so was she.
*
Prince Jing, the undefeated God of War.
The Crown Prince’s thorn in his side.
He wants her to play along, but she makes him read a string of scandalous lines out loud.
[Say you like my curvy figure.]
[Say my skin is so fair it glows.]
[Say I’m the sexiest woman you’ve ever met.]
[Read it! Louder!]
After he finishes, she even complains that he sounds like he’s reading an obituary.
But he regrets dragging her into this struggle.
He wants to stay away from her, but he can’t stop himself from getting closer.
At last, Prince Jing pins her against the ledger. “Boss Tang, when are you going to settle this account with me?”
She rubs her waist and smiles. “My lord, take a number. I have eight other projects waiting for their IPOs.”
Prince Jing frowns. “I’m talking about marriage, and you’re talking business?”
Why is nobody watching?
