A Boat Sailing a Thousand Miles, a Lifetime of Peace

In her previous life, she earned a decent 12,000 yuan a month. After transmigrating to 1900, she becomes a wealthy young lady in Shanghai.

In reality, she has to report to her family before spending even a single copper coin.

Her father left behind a racetrack and a bank, but because she's a "girl," she has "no right" to manage them.

She doesn't want to save the country. The task is too distant and too dangerous. All she wants is to make money. Besides money, she trusts nothing.

Whoever is the boss of Shanghai, she invests in them. Whoever has the most influence, she does business with them. She invests in the ruling power openly, while secretly leaving a way forward for the number two as well, making sure not to offend either side.

Qin Xingzhou asks her, "Which side are you on, really?"

She says, "I'm on the side of money."

Someone asks her, "Are you going to marry him or not?"

She says, "Who said I was going to marry him? Do lovers have to end up together? All I want is a man who won't cause me trouble or take my money."

Much later, she finally admits one thing: she can't help loving the people of this land, people like herself, exhausted by the struggle to live, yet still fighting to move forward.
