[Strong female lead + satisfying read + business + high office + infrastructure + helping a princess ascend the throne + rival suitors + an all-out effort to save the nation]
After transmigrating into the body of a ship merchant at the end of the Ming dynasty, Huang Qingyan saw her fifteen-year-old younger sister about to be sent to the old emperor as a concubine. She could not bear it. “I’ll go in your place.”
In the capital, she met the princess’s influential steward, a princess with lofty ambitions, and, of course, her best friend, who was disguising herself as a man to serve as an official.
Huang Qingyan grew ambitious in this world. Why not make something happen together?
“If you don’t mind, Steward, I’d like to take you as my adoptive mother!”
“Your Highness, I was born to be your chief minister!”
“Bestie, let’s get promoted and rich together!”
In business, she will become the logistics queen of the Great Ming.
In government, she will rise to power just below The Outcast.
When the Jurchen cavalry comes knocking at the pass, the entire court is powerless to respond.
Everyone thinks the Great Ming is doomed.
Until they step in.
This is their realm,
and Huang Qingyan’s business empire.
P.S. Elementary-school-level business tactics, with plenty of feel-good moments for the girls.
