Gu Xingmang, Wall Street’s legendary short-selling tycoon, opened her eyes and found herself transmigrated into the discarded empress of the Great Qian dynasty. She thought she was in for a tragic, torturous romance, only to discover that the entire imperial family was already insolvent. They couldn’t even pay the eunuchs’ wages! Looking at the grasping consorts and the grief-stricken emperor, Gu Xingmang awakened the Emotional Value Securitization System.
The scheming consort comes to the cold palace to taunt her? Gu Xingmang bundles her jealousy into high-yield bonds and sells them to the cash-strapped empress. The emperor flies into a rage and orders her death? She converts his anger into leveraged capital and shorts the imperial household department on the spot, forcing him to come to the cold palace in the middle of the night to borrow money for military pay. Every feud and romance in the harem becomes a financial derivative for her to trade!
In just three months, the Great Qian court becomes her private exchange, and all the officials who once held themselves above everyone else become wage slaves ripe for the taking. When the enemy army closes in, ready to take over the bankrupt dynasty, Gu Xingmang lets out a cold laugh. “You want to swallow us up? Have you even read my hostile takeover proposal?”
