Elegance in 1900: Shanghai’s Richest Woman

Strong female lead + transmigration + business + no romance + farming

On her third straight day of working overtime, Xie Qingshang fainted at the office and transmigrated to a fictional world.

It was much like Shanghai around 1900.

The original owner, who shared her name, was a down-on-her-luck rich kid.

Though beautiful, she was actually a sickly landlady on the verge of bankruptcy.

Xie Qingshang was a top CMO in the 21st century. She’d planned to take things easy and make sure she didn’t have too miserable a time in this world.

But adversity only fueled her fighting spirit!

And her tenants? Every one of them was a better actor than she was!

The aloof Su Wanqing was three months behind on rent.

Then she casually pulled out a long-lost spice and recreated ten ancient perfume recipes!

The haughty Chen Jinyan made a living mending clothes.

Then Xie Qingshang offhandedly mentioned the “golden ratio,” and overnight he made an improved qipao that stunned all of Shanghai!

The rakish, handsome Ji Baifan was a bankrupt young master. She’d thought all he could do was crack jokes.

Then she needed a sample bottle for packaging, and one phone call from him got her a whole box from a shipping magnate!

And she even had a top pastry chef and a top photographer on her team!

Fine. If you’re all going to put on an act, don’t blame me, Xie Qingshang.

“Everyone, get your scripts ready. From today on, I’m the director, and you’re in charge of dazzling the world.”

As for what the transmigration System wanted her to do, become the richest woman in the land and uncover the truth behind her father’s death, those would be easy enough to handle along the way!

At last, the day came when she could return to the 21st century, and she found herself reluctant to leave!

The female lead has no romantic pairings throughout the story. She works with everyone else as a business partner. There are no major hardships, just the satisfaction of making money and the gentle flow of everyday life.
