Su Jin traveled to the Dajing Dynasty and became the concubine of a merchant in the south of the Yangtze River.
Forced to marry, abandoned by her family, and bullied by the market, she crawled out of the mud and bought a run-down restaurant. She used the "Jade House Spring" as a tactic to gather connections, find out information, and accumulate wealth.
She thought she could settle down if she had money, but she quickly saw the reality:
No matter how rich a businessman is, he will always have a humble status; no matter how much money he has, it cannot be worth a decree from a powerful person.
Yulouchun was sealed, his confidants were imprisoned, and several years of hard work were wasted.
Su Jin finally understood: Wealth without the protection of power is just a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
She spent all her wealth and made a deal with the Shen family, a declining noble family. She adopted an orphan girl from a side branch, washed away her background as a merchant, and participated in the draft as the noble daughter of the Shen family.
After entering the palace, she did not fight for favor, did not flatter others, and did not form cliques. She only hid in hiding and watched the situation with a cold eye.
She used the skills she learned in the restaurant to read people's hearts, used the calculations she learned in business wars to check and balance the harem, and used her financial and tax insights to influence the structure of the court.
The Queen regarded her as a pawn, Concubine De regarded her as a powerful enemy, and the Queen Mother regarded her as a hidden danger.
But no one knows that this deep palace has never been her end, but only the first step on her way to seize power.
From the marketplace in Jiangnan to the Golden Palace, from the abandoned daughter of a merchant to the eternal empress.
With her businessman's scheming skills, Su Jin embarked on an unprecedented path to becoming a queen.
Purpose: Under the shackles of the world, women do not rely on love or God-given opportunities, but use wisdom, financial resources and forbearance to break through class barriers, and earn their own fortune by relying on their own game.
