    An absolutely phenomenal masterpiece! A former marketing director transmigrates into the body of a poor scholar who becomes the top scholar in the imperial examinations during the Great Zhou Dynasty. While others possess literary talent and martial arts skills, his are—management skills, social skills, and an exceptional ability to make money. Demoted to the position of manager of a brothel owing two thousand taels of silver and with only thirty taels left in the treasury? Not a chance. He takes office with three bold moves: First, he solicits donations by writing calligraphy, using his connections to settle a five-hundred-tael debt owed to a butcher shop; second, performance is paramount, with the girls receiving a base salary plus commission, and "five out of five are kept if targets are exceeded"; third, he implements brand management—sponsoring a courtesan competition, tiered VIP memberships, and simultaneously releasing high-end "Top Scholar Red" merchandise. With this series of combined measures, the near-bankrupt brothel transforms into a listed company, with powerful officials begging to invest. But his goal isn't just to make money—this place harbors a miscarriage of justice, and he aims to find a way for its inhabitants to survive. When the mastermind behind the scenes removed his pillar, Zhu Yongming smiled and revealed his trump card: "Sorry, my temple doesn't use pillars, it uses load-bearing walls. It can keep turning even without anyone." An ancient workplace version of *The Wolf of Wall Street*. Witness how the top CEO of the Great Zhou Dynasty used KPIs and system design to transform a brothel into a cultural landmark.

    This fantasy cultivation novel is quite cunning. The main text already has 1.4 Million words, and the author has even included two related short stories. The writing style and setting are quite good; for example, in Chapter 5 of Volume 1, the 1500-word classical Chinese text "The Song of the Dao" explains almost all the cultivation paths in a single song. This style, which sets the tone right from the start, is incredibly satisfying.
