Since fate had given her a second chance, she couldn't let this opportunity slip by: helping the good, punishing the evil, and maintaining her reputation as a modern career woman; starting a business, building a chain, and quietly making a fortune; but… how could buying someone—no, saving someone—lead to encounter someone incredibly handsome and ridiculously expensive? And he even wanted to repay her with his body? Was this truly incredible luck, or was fate playing a cruel joke on her? But all she wanted was a peaceful life, and the man who offered himself to her softly replied, "Don't worry, Ruyue, I'll take care of everything!"

    A time-traveling, ancient Chinese novel about farming and business. The protagonist sells vast amounts of resources from their spatial dimension, builds wealth, and experiences a heartwarming story with a touch of revenge against villains. No romantic pairing. Highly recommended!
