Su Qingyue, a modern businesswoman and CEO, drops dead on the eve of her company’s stock market debut.
When she opens her eyes, she has become the daughter of a disgraced official, exiled to the northern frontier. Penniless, her life is worth less than a blade of grass.
A local bully forces her to sign a contract of servitude, the officials treat her as a burden, and everyone is waiting to see how she’ll die.
But she smiles. In her last life, she built a hundred-billion-yuan empire from nothing. She can turn things around in this life, too.
Taking over a rundown inn, she sells roujiamo, introduces a membership scheme, and uses scarcity marketing. Soon, her business is the talk of the border town.
The badly wounded guard she casually saved turns out to be the General Who Guards the North, a man who commands a mighty army?
He says coldly, “Don’t count on me,” but then turns around and draws his sword to shield her from danger.
When people say a disgraced official’s daughter isn’t worthy of a general, she turns around and buys the entire street.
“My business empire doesn’t need a man to back it up.”
When her three-year exile ends, she has opened a chain of shops throughout Daxia, and the nobles at court are begging to do business with her.
Her old enemies kneel before her. She gives them a faint smile. “I’ve always loved watching you hate me and still be powerless to do anything about it.”
From an exile to the richest woman on the northern frontier, in this life she wants both money and true love.
