Modern medical doctor and business strategist Du Qingli transmigrates as the daughter of a wealthy merchant in the capital. She befriends princesses and princes, and coolly declares, "Stay away if you're fighting over the throne. This lady only takes gold, and I'll never enter the palace as a consort!"
She launches a cosmetics business, opens banks, and builds heavy industries, using modern business methods to reshape the Great Sheng Dynasty. Along the way, she turns the favored Ninth Princess into her devoted best friend and helps the emperor's gilded cage bird become the richest woman in the hotpot business! When foreign barbarians seek a princess for a political marriage, she crunches the numbers, opens up border trade, and uses wool, tea, and salt to drain the grasslands dry!
The princes fighting for power all come around, and even Prince Chen, the God of War of the Northern Frontier, willingly lowers himself to become her armed bodyguard. In a low, coaxing voice, he says, "I'll protect the realm, you'll care for its people, and this prince's life... belongs to Boss Du?"
Du Qingli counts her gold bricks and scoffs: The wise don't fall in love. This lady will only become the greatest businesswoman under heaven!
