One morning, weightlifter Su Yueqiao transmigrated.
Her father had gone missing, her family was destitute, and her fiance had cruelly broken off their engagement. The only comfort she had was a dilapidated blacksmith shop.
Luckily, she was bound to an Armory filled with all kinds of top-grade weapons and swords.
At the weapons appraisal event, everyone waited to laugh at her.
Who could have guessed she'd bring out a Black-Rank willow-leaf saber first, followed by an Earth-Rank fish-intestine sword? Everyone was stunned.
In the days that followed, her shop produced one top-grade weapon after another, and the crowds of eager buyers nearly trampled the shop's threshold.
Every swordsmith in the city fell silent.
They were all blacksmiths, so how did she always manage to forge top-grade weapons?
Everyone in the martial world knows that Demon Lord Wen Xinglie is moody and can wipe out a great sect with a snap of his fingers.
But no one knows that his true form is a gold-eating beast.
He especially loves refining top-grade weapons into liquid and drinking them like black sesame soup.
At first, when his subordinates presented him with the top-grade weapons from Su Yueqiao's shop, he scoffed.
"This scrap metal is utterly tasteless. Take it away!"
Later, the Demon Lord was so desperate to get more top-grade weapons that he even transformed into his true form and spent all day clinging to a certain woman's leg, begging for cuddles.
Subordinates: We…can't bear to watch.
Alternate universe, 1v1, lots of original worldbuilding.
Strong, straightforward female swordsmith VS theatrical, tsundere, scheming Demon Lord (gold-eating beast)
Coming soon: Can a Real Estate Agent Become Richer Than a Nation?
Not long after transmigrating into an alternate-era world, star real estate agent Jiang Xia was abducted by an assassin organization.
After finally escaping, she and her brother were left to live in poverty.
They ate wild greens and steamed cornbread at every meal, and even had to split a single boiled egg in half.
Just as the siblings were about to be thrown out of their home and left out in the cold,
Jiang Xia plunged headfirst into the despised profession of real estate broker.
A broker is just an ancient version of a modern-day real estate agent, right?
Jiang Xia said: That's my old job! Easy!
At first, everyone mocked her for being a young woman working as a broker, saying she was debasing herself.
Later, with her silver tongue, she took on nineteen trades across Xichuan and became a famous broker in the sixteen cities of the northern frontier.
The Western Regions, northern tribes, small nations in the eastern sea… Wherever there was business to be done, her brokerage had it under its thumb.
She became a welcome guest to the rulers of six kingdoms, gaining both fame and wealth.
People outside said she was richer than a nation.
Jiang Xia smiled serenely: I'll give you one tael of gold. You can dream bigger.
A little scene:
Jiang Xia's motto in life: Life is short, but the money never stops coming.
She heard the young master of the city's Datong Bank was a kind-hearted lad who got bullied every time he went out to collect debts.
Spotting a business opportunity, Jiang Xia offered her services: Young Master Chen, don't worry. Hire me as your bodyguard, and no debt will go uncollected!
Later, as Jiang Xia's memories began to return, Chen Guannan seemed strangely familiar.
Jiang Xia: Have we met somewhere before?
Chen Guannan: You stole my family heirloom jade pendant and chased me like a dog. Do you think we've met?
Jiang Xia: …All right, she finally remembered who this kid was.
Theme: Persevere and rely on yourself in times of hardship.
Why does the title of the novel emphasize that she is a female swordsmith? Shouldn't the heroine be a cool novel who has great strength in the swordsmith industry? Could it be that she can only stand out among female swordsmiths? Just like some news specifically emphasizes female drivers and female lawyers. It feels awkward.
When will it be updated?
