Wall Street unicorn hunter Cen Yunfei transmigrated into the Great Jing dynasty and became a discarded marquess’s wife, despised by everyone. Her former husband, Lu Zi’ang, seized all her dowry and warned every merchant in the city not to help her, waiting for her to beg on her knees after starving and freezing.
With no golden finger or special abilities, she relied solely on her modern venture-capital savvy. Her black leather contract ledger opened, and her sandalwood-and-gold abacus clacked. A down-on-his-luck scholar was a promising candidate for top scholar; a disabled veteran was a treasure in the logistics sector. She signed equity contracts and placed bets on every desperate local talent she could find.
In a shack in a dilapidated alley, Yunfei Ventures appeared out of nowhere. She set up wagers, conducted reverse audits, and built supply chains for ordinary people. Loan-sharking gangs and the marquess’s household took turns trying to destroy her, using threats and bribes to force her back into the inner quarters as a concubine. She joined forces with the underfunded Prince An, a famed general, and used one government-registered contract after another to drive her enemies into retreat.
Just as she made a name for herself in the capital and took control of a surging stream of cash, a massive Jiangnan trading guild had already laid a trap, planning to crush everything she had built with a flood of capital. How would Cen Yunfei turn the tables in this high-stakes gamble?
