Jiang Zhiyi was born into a distinguished family that had inherited the art of incense-making for a hundred years. She married into the Marquis of Loyalty and Valor's household and spent five years putting aside her former elegance and diligently managing the family estate. But after the marquis's household fell from favor, her former husband, the young heir Lu, drove her out with a letter of divorce so he could marry the current dynasty's princess's daughter and cling to life a little longer. Jiang Zhiyi returned to her old trade and began building a business, waging commercial battles... In the end, she became the richest person in the capital and established the Great Jing dynasty's first business alliance led by a woman.
