Historical fiction, imaginative premise, rebirth, no System, two powerful leads, ancient-era business
Xiyue, the eldest princess of Dayu, is reborn as Li Zhaodi, a country girl who is about to be forced into marriage and jump into a river.
Her shamelessly biased mother wants to sell her to a widower in the next village just to get a wife for her wastrel son?
Xiyue sneers and turns to the poor scholar who saved her. “Marry me. Ten taels for the bride price, and write up a severance agreement!”
Everyone waits to laugh at the poor scholar and the “fallen woman.”
But who could have guessed that the poor scholar, Zhang Shian, is the son of the former leader of the martial world, as well as an unparalleled genius in both letters and arms?
And timid Li Zhaodi has transformed into a business prodigy, offering Zhang Shian clever counsel at every turn!
By the time the third prince usurps the throne and believes his reign secure,
Zhang Shian has already become the all-powerful chief minister, while Xiyue has long since gained control of the entire dynasty's lifeline through her wealth.
“Anyone who has hurt her will pay a hundredfold!”
