[Wu Zetian/Li Shimin pairing | The Silk Road | Strong female lead | Money-making maniac | Women supporting women]
Lin Banxia, a modern self-made billionaire who loves philanthropy, dies in a car accident while on her way to donate money in a poor mountain region.
After death, she binds herself to the “Wealthy Nation, Strong People” System.
The System tells her that if she opens up global trade routes and ensures the people have plenty to eat and wear, she can ascend in broad daylight and attain boundless wealth.
Then, from the start, Lin Banxia is dumped in Lingnan, a remote, desolate place rife with miasma.
Developing an economic zone? She could do that with her eyes closed!
And so, as the daughter of a down-on-her-luck merchant, Lin Banxia builds seagoing ships, grows Champa rice, and develops pharmaceuticals.
Lingnan becomes the richest treasure trove in the land. Just as countless maritime merchants are hailing Boss Lin as the God of Wealth...
A sky screen suddenly appears!
A finance influencer from a later age is touring the ruins of the Tang Dynasty’s Overseas Trade Guild while passionately listing its achievements:
[The woman approaching you is China’s greatest female billionaire of all time, the one who controlled the Tang Dynasty’s economic lifeline and pioneered global trade!]
[A pioneer of the Age of Discovery, a benefactor who gave away her wealth to save the world, an uncrowned queen!]
[The first person in China to declare: Women hold up half the sky, and can buy the whole world!!!]
The sky screen’s voice rings across Chang’an.
“?????”
Wu Zetian/Li Shimin: “Our imperial treasury is saved! Quick, send an urgent dispatch and bring her to the palace!”
The people of the Tang Dynasty: “!!!! The Goddess of Wealth bless us!”
At the same time, at a Lingnan harbor.
The heads of merchant houses from every country, about to set sail, all turn to look at their red-dressed magnate, Lin, who is rapidly working an abacus, and fall into deep thought...
