Synopsis

Graduating means facing a dead end. Her parents' business goes bankrupt, they leave all their assets to her younger sister, and make Dai Anqing inherit a crumbling factory burdened with fifty million in debt.

Her grandfather goes around bragging that he gave her a medicinal herb farm, where a single wild ginseng root can sell for a million. If anyone wants to collect a debt, they should go to her.

In reality, it's nothing but a barren wasteland.

Just as she reaches her darkest hour, she accidentally opens a door that connects the past and present:

A tribal chieftainess, driven into a corner, accidentally stumbles through. She sees the hatchet Dai Anqing carries for self-defense, her eyes light up, and she hands over a five-hundred-year-old wild ginseng root.

[Goddess, I'll trade this for your iron tool!]

In the sixth month, snow falls along the ancient border, and the army runs out of food and medicine. A down-and-out general walks through the door, bringing cart after cart of antiques.

[Miss, I wish to trade for food! And medicine for the wounded!]

A Buddhist monk uses his own flesh and blood to suppress ten thousand demons. At death's door, he opens the door and sees light he has not seen in ages. He removes his prayer beads and offers them to her.

[Benefactor, could I trade these for a solar-powered lamp? This lamp can suppress demons!]

In the apocalypse, not a blade of grass survives. A wandering girl eats a lychee and stares in shock, then tosses Dai Anqing a Tian Shu-7 magnetic levitation combat unit.

[Big Sis, how many lychees can I get for this?]

With her debts paid off, Dai Anqing invests in a large pharmaceutical factory in a small county town and names it Jiujiu Pharmaceuticals.

She says, "It doesn't mean 'nine returning to one.' It means free shipping for just 9.9!"

Her parents, who faked their deaths to escape their debts, come back to fight over the assets? Get lost! Go ahead and cry! Her real father is a big shot in the capital!

As her business grows and admirers flock around her, the arrogant CEO who's been protecting her all along finally can't sit still.

[Boss Dai, I've got a project here that lasts a lifetime. Care to sign?]

Any Original Stories? I’m Sick of These Same Old Popular Plots

Recommend some fresh, original fantasy novels. No mainstream tropes, no lousy rebirth stories, no urban novels where the protagonist shows off and bumps into a beauty around the corner, and no apocalyptic stories with superpowers or a System. Are there any fantasy novels outside those categories? Ideally, something with a fresh premise and theme.

The female lead has very strong moral values, but she can't keep secrets. Even though she has shared secrets with the male lead, she still addresses him as "Mr" and "Miss" in a very formal and distant way. There's no spark between them; she's just too serious and everything feels very businesslike.

I really admire this kind of strong, brave, kind, and responsible person! I appreciate the author's values... Good fortune will always favor those with kind hearts! There is a divine presence above everyone!

I enjoy reading lighthearted stories like this. Although the girl faces hardships in life, she remains optimistic. When she has money, she first pays back her workers' wages, remembers everyone who has been kind to her, and so on. This shows that the girl is kind and pure-hearted. The connection to other worlds is quite magical. Overall, it's a great read! Keep up the good work, author!

I love these kinds of books. Both the male and female leads are strong; the female lead grows stronger gradually, while the male lead brings things to a close. The elderly characters are incredibly helpful, and also kind and gentle. The villains don't have it easy from the start, which I especially enjoy – I never let them get away with it! 😄😄😄😄

I really enjoyed this novel. The subject matter is fresh and intriguing, the plot is moving, it's full of positive energy, and there's not much unnecessary dialogue. It's definitely worth reading.

It's quite good, very imaginative, depicting modern people interacting with people from the past, exchanging items, and encountering strange and unusual events—quite interesting. The writing is fluent.

This is a great time-travel novel that I enjoyed reading. Lately, I keep getting recommendations for female-led entrepreneurial novels with male leads, but nothing! This book is excellent, five stars! Keep it up! That was rushed; the part about the protagonist recognizing his family was really laughable. 😂😂😂
