The Pea Princess

Under the meticulous protection of her powerful, influential father, terminally ill Morino Xia lived a life of extreme luxury.

Every cup of milk tea passed through seven pairs of hands. Every bouquet of flowers required an entire flower field, and even the supplies for her hospital room had to be mined from the moon.

Her living expenses alone accounted for 80% of the city's tax revenue, earning her the nickname "Princess Pea."

Then one day, her father died.

Morino Xia looked at the city's long list of deficits, at the enormous debt hanging over her head, and at the exorbitant living expenses she would have to pay next month...

No, this wouldn't do. She had to revive the city and earn enough to cover her living expenses.

And yet...

[City unemployment rate: 60%]

[City residential building damage rate: 50%]

[Farmland abandonment rate: 90%]

[Biotech company construction progress: 0%]

[Foreign trade volume: -500000000]

[City debt: -10000000000]

Just how much hard-earned money from ordinary people had she spent!

And so Morino Xia, despite her terminal illness, began working diligently.

Building, renovating, developing foreign trade...

One year later, in an interview:

Morino Xia (smiling politely): "Since taking over the city and working hard to serve the people, my terminal illness has improved considerably."

The ministers: "No, she clearly got better the moment she saw the debt!"

I can't continue writing this story, so it has been taken down for paid access. Thank you, everyone.
