She Troubles the World with Her Beauty

Background: The Zhou Dynasty suffered from internal and external troubles, aristocratic families controlled the government, and the borderland of Mobei was desolate and barren. Beginning: - Abandoned: A Yuan (real name: Shen Yuan), a concubine from an aristocratic family, was sent to Mobei by her family as a marriage abandonment because her birth mother was a maid. On the way, she was "accidentally" abandoned in a refugee camp and suffered bullying. - Awakening: On the verge of death, A Yuan awakened the memory of his past life (he was a modern psychology expert and top public relations planner in his previous life), used psychological techniques to instigate the leader of the refugees, established a small caravan to monopolize the salt and iron trade in Mobei, and accumulated the first pot of gold. - Disguise: Entering the capital for revenge, A Yuan destroyed her original delicate appearance (disguise), reshaped her into a stunning "disaster" image, and infiltrated the capital's merchant circles as an "orphan of a fallen aristocrat". Core conflict: A Yuan disturbs the circle of powerful people as a "peerless beauty" and secretly supports the business alliance to control the economic lifeline. Development: - First appearance: A Yuan opened the "Drunken Red Dust" restaurant in Beijing, attracting powerful people with unique dishes and "beauty banquets", using the wine shop to obtain information, secretly supporting students from poor families to form a "business alliance", and monopolizing the Jiangnan silk trade. - The prince enters the game: Prince Xiao Jingyan (arrogant and Machiavellian) was attracted by A Yuan's beauty and mystery when he first met her, and tried to accept her as a concubine, but was rejected by A Yuan because she "only loves freedom", which instead aroused his desire to conquer and secretly helped him suppress the family members. - General's Heartbeat: Zhenbei General Gu Changfeng (loyal dog general) was ordered to investigate the merchant alliance, but was impressed by A Yuan's "toughness under the weak appearance" and secretly protected her many times, even disobeying the emperor's order for her. - Machiavellian confrontation: - A Yuan took advantage of the internal strife in the family and used the prince's help to eradicate the Shen family (original family). He exposed his crime of embezzling military pay and killed the entire Shen family. - The Merchant Alliance expanded into the salt and iron franchise, which touched the interests of the Prince's teacher (the representative of the aristocratic family). A Yuan designed the "salt tax case", forcing the Prince to break with the aristocratic family, and the Merchant Alliance took over the Salt and Iron Division. Part Three: The opening of the crematorium, the game between emperor and empress Core conflict: The prince and the general fight for A Yuan, and A Yuan's identity crisis and conspiracy escalate. Climax: - Emotional outburst: In order to monopolize A Yuan, the prince designed a "Drunken Red Dust" fire. A Yuan was seriously injured, and Gu Changfeng risked his life to save her. The relationship between the two heated up. The prince was filled with remorse and began to make amends crazily, even willing to abolish the princess. - Identity crisis: A remnant of the Shen family revealed A Yuan's identity as the "abandoned daughter of Mobei". The prince was furious and thought he had been deceived, so he placed A Yuan under house arrest in the East Palace. A Yuan used psychological techniques to reverse brainwash the prince, causing him to fall into the mental torture of "love and hate". - Merchant Alliance Crisis: The aristocratic families jointly suppressed the Merchant Alliance. A Yuan used the "live streaming" model (ancient version) to promote new agricultural tools, gaining support from the people and even making the emperor (father of the prince) look at him with admiration. - The Game between the Empress and the Empress: The emperor wanted to win over A Yuan to check and balance the prince, and secretly married A Yuan as the crown prince. A Yuan pretended to obey, but in fact he poisoned the prince on the wedding night and escaped from the capital with the secret book of the business alliance. Part 4: Ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor, getting married in troubled times Core conflict: A Yuan integrates the forces in Mobei and Jiangnan, and the final showdown with the prince and general. Ending: - Integration of forces: A Yuan returned to Mobei, united the old refugee tribe and the Jiangnan Business Alliance to form the "New Dynasty" army, and won the support of the people with the slogan of "equalizing the land and abolishing the clans". - Final showdown: - In order to recapture A Yuan, the prince led an army to attack Mobei, but was defeated by A Yuan's "psychological tactics" on the battlefield. In the end, he blocked the arrow to save A Yuan and died. Before his death, he regretted: "I will lose both the country and you." - General Gu Changfeng led his army to surrender and was willing to follow A Yuan as a "prisoner" and become the founding hero of the new dynasty. - Ascended to the throne and proclaimed emperor: A Yuan burned the jade ultimatum at the heaven-sacrifice ceremony, ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, changed the name of the country to "New Zhou", implemented the policy of "paying equal attention to business and agriculture", abolished aristocratic families, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. - Ending: A Yuan stood on the dragon chair, Gu Changfeng knelt down on one knee and presented the military talisman. She caressed the dragon robe and pointed at the country with a smile: "This troubled world has finally become my dowry." Innovation and Highlights - Innovation points: - Weaponization of beauty: The heroine uses "beauty" as a disguise, but actually relies on psychology and business acumen to control the overall situation, breaking the routine of "relying on men to gain power". - Ancient live broadcast of goods: combined with modern business thinking, plots such as "agricultural tools promotion" and "salt tax reform" are designed to enhance the sense of refreshment and freshness. - Crematorium for all members: Prince (arrogant → crazy criticism), general (loyal dog → prisoner), noble family (suppressed → destroyed) Intention: Counterattack to reach the top
