Synopsis

In the sixth year of the Kaiyuan era, the Jiangnan silk dynasty collapsed overnight. Her father was dead, her uncle wanted to divide the estate, and business rivals were secretly forcing prices down. At just twenty-three, eldest daughter Lin Lanxi was thrust into control, with the vast family fortune built over three generations resting on her shoulders.

Her younger brother drew his blade to stand guard over their father's coffin, while her younger sister kept watch through the embroidery workshops. With her father's fountain pen in one hand, Lanxi held up the family business with the other. Before the ancestral tablets, she wrote four words: The Lin family will not fall.

Within seven days, she fended off challenges based on clan rules, mediation by the four elders, and probing moves from business rivals. Then she discovered that the Hangzhou branch had been surrounded overnight. Her investigation brought a twenty-year-old secret to light: the unseen hand behind it all had set this trap while her father was still alive.

Back down? Kneeling before the ancestral tablets, she had never backed down.

Your Number One Apocalypse Novel

Looking for stories where both leads are intelligent and competent. No brainless female lead who relies entirely on the male lead. Preferably without too many cheats or some kind of pocket dimension. Ideally, the female lead isn't reborn either. Male-oriented or female-oriented stories are both fine.
