[Alternate Song Dynasty + sign-in System + business comeback]
On the first day after I transmigrated, someone came to snatch my sister.
On the second day, Bianjing's finest restaurant wanted to buy my secret recipe.
The debt from the day before: fifty strings of cash.
The business deal from the day after: worth at least a hundred thousand strings.
Shen Yan's capital for turning his life around was a location-based sign-in System.
He signed in at a dilapidated house and received a Divine Strength Pill and one hundred taels of silver. The creditor came in holding a debt note and left flat on his back.
He signed in at Fan Tower and received a brewing recipe that made every guest in the restaurant put down their wine.
The more valuable the location, the better the rewards.
Shen Yan set his sights on the imperial palace.
But before he could make enough money, the people trying to carve up his fortune had already filled the table.
Thugs demanded protection money, officials wanted to know where his wealth came from, and the powerful demanded his distillery outright.
They'd even prepared the charges against him, all they needed was for him to refuse.
Shen Yan smiled.
I'll make the money.
You can do the time.
He built his fortune, snatched up businesses, and battled the powerful at every turn. He was on the verge of becoming richer than the state, but he never forgot one thing:
The Jingkang Incident would happen in five years.
When the enemy army entered the city, they wouldn't stop at taking just thirty percent of his business.
All the shops, granaries, and mansions in this city, and his sister, who had finally begun to eat her fill...
Shen Yan opened his ledger and wrote down two words: “Defend the city.”
**My whole fortune is right here.**
**Anyone who tries to destroy it dies.**
