Zhu Wanqing, a recent female college graduate with a degree in business administration, suddenly died and found herself inside an old-fashioned melodramatic novel.
The good news: She had become the daughter of a wealthy merchant with the same name.
The bad news: She was an unpopular cannon-fodder supporting character, competing with her own sister for the same man.
In the book, Zhu Wanqing was not only bullied, but also a part of the melodramatic romance between the original male and female leads. In the end, she met the tragic fate of a disposable pawn.
Already stressed out over finding a job, Zhu Wanqing was utterly speechless.
"I have no interest in fighting over the household. I just want to get rich!"
So, faced with being enslaved and suppressed from the start, she decisively forged her own path and left the grand, secluded estate to start a business with a small shop.
From a fabric shop to a clothing store, from restaurants to inns, then from teahouses to theaters... Before long, her commercial empire spanned every industry, and she successfully built a bustling street offering everything from clothing and food to housing, transportation, and entertainment.
This not only boosted commercial prosperity, but also created more jobs for ordinary people.
With success in both business and reputation, she naturally attracted the attention of many talented young men, including the aloof and haughty Vice Minister of Revenue.
Zhu Wanqing, once misunderstood by everyone, called out in public, "Everyone, please go home. I'm someone who wants to marry into a powerful family."
Hearing her from within the crowd, Xie Qi turned green. "This is bad, this is bad! What am I supposed to do if the princes and nobles sweep her off her feet?"
