A Wild Young Page Arrives at Yunjin House

When Xie Linchuan wakes up, he finds himself a lowly bookboy, picked up from the back gate of Linzhou's richest merchant house, Yunjin Trading.

In his previous life, he made his way in the business world, skilled at reading people, making deals, and turning losing situations around. In this life, however, he has plunged headfirst into the rotten books of an elite merchant house, becoming a lowborn everyone can trample on.

At the time, Yunjin Trading faces fierce rivals undercutting prices and stealing customers from outside, while relatives secretly bleed it dry from within. The storefront is deserted, the workshops are on the verge of collapse, and Linzhou's leading silk house is about to sink into the mud.

Xie Linchuan only wanted to earn enough to get by. But once he stepped into this mess, there was no way back.

If he had to stay, then he might as well overturn the board and start the game anew.

Starting with a set of rotten accounts and building momentum with a new silk design, he steadies the storefront, brings the workshops in line, wins people's trust, takes on rival merchants, checks powerful clans, leverages official influence, and turns the old game on its head.

He doesn't just intend to save a shop.

He will see this venerable old brand, on the verge of collapse, raise its sign high over Linzhou once more.

This is the story of a lowly bookboy who enters an elite merchant house and gradually goes from outsider to the one calling the shots.
