The Song Family Beauty's Rise to Fortune in Ancient Times

[Blurb]

The heroine's story:

After transmigrating into the role of the eldest daughter in a family without a father, she finds that her mother is already planning to remarry!

Her frail, helpless mother sobs, "Your two little sisters will have to depend on you from now on!"

Her awful aunt sizes up her three nieces and sneers, "Worthless money-draining girls!"

Her own uncle and grandfather just hunch over, doing their best to make themselves invisible...

Song Jiao can only laugh and cry. "Did I really draw the short straw?"

Sure, the cards are bad, but she might as well make the most of things! She still needs to earn enough merit to trade for Meng Po's soup.

She steels herself and sets one, two, three goals: make money!

Short-term goal: Earn ten thousand taels! Mid-term goal: Become a tycoon with a restaurant chain! Ultimate goal: Become a landlady richer than anyone around!

On her wedding night, Song Jiao is thrilled to discover that she's a lucky star! With her own strength, she has managed to change the original owner's fate of losing her family and dying!

Is that the limit? No!

She'll lead the whole Song family to a life of wealth and comfort!

Is getting rich the end of the story? No!

While searching for Baiyujing, she uncovers the secret of Emperor Rende!

Who is Meng Po? Why do the Buddhist Longmen Grottoes and the Taoist Laojun Temple stand on opposite sides?

The male lead scratches his head, utterly baffled:

"Wasn't this supposed to be an inspirational story about a servant working his way up to become a powerful minister? How did it turn into a romance about a doting husband?"

Content warnings:

1. The dynasty is fictional.

2. Both the hero and heroine grow over the course of the story.

3. It's only pretending to be a farming story: a sweet romance that's not too saccharine, a slow-paced, realistic tale of family life and everyday squabbles.

Theme: Live life to the fullest, and when all seems lost, a handsome man is sure to appear!
