You Told Me to Be a Cast-Off Wife, So Why Did I Ruin the Dynasty's Finances?

Shen Nanqiao, the most powerful financier under heaven, was forced by her marquis husband, who had risen to power on her wealth, to divorce him, and narrowly escaped assassination. She formed a life-or-death alliance with Xiao Jiuci, a ruthless regent who was short on provisions and suffering from a secret poison. In exchange for military strength, she brought modern macro-financial strategies to bear, crushing the great clans, the imperial family, and enemy nations at every turn. In the end, she shattered the class barriers between scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants, and established a new order in which wealth and the law were equal for all.
