Linghua Doesn't Want to Build a Career

[This novel will switch to paid chapters on Thursday, April 8. The paid chapters start with Chapter 26, so please keep that in mind when purchasing.] After Ayaka died, she met a strange fox who called itself Konnosuke. It proposed a deal: You can be reborn in another world, and you’ll also get fields, a house, and subordinates. Every one of them will be highly skilled and utterly loyal, guaranteed to make you a major power in the region! Ayaka: Th-There’s really such a good deal? Konnosuke: All you have to do is take over a batch of broken swords, then awaken and repair them with your spiritual power! Ayaka didn’t think much of it, until he signed the contract and discovered... What he thought being a lord would entail: a mansion, handsome men fawning over him, and luxury cars and money within easy reach. What being a lord actually entailed: Sure, there was a mansion, but he couldn’t live in it. Repairing swords took time, effort, and money, and once they were repaired, he had to provide food, drink, and lodging for them... Ayaka’s vision went dark, and he nearly died on the spot all over again. Later... “Lord, Ms. Sonozaki is attending a banquet and hopes our dojo can send someone to protect her.” “In that case... Send the Samonji brothers.” “Lord, the Port Mafia sent word. They want to ask about the Vongola and Byakuran...” “They stood by and did nothing before, and now they’re getting anxious? I’ll get in touch with them first, then reply...” More than ten years later, the words Konnosuke had casually used to fool him at the time really did become reality. P.S. 1. Everyday life + plot + career development + romance 2. The citadel is entirely the author's own creation, with multiple worlds forcibly combined and loads of original worldbuilding. 3. The plot has been completely changed, the timeline is a complete mess, and the characters are mostly out of character. 4. Updates around 9 a.m. every day Theme: Expand business ventures and promote economic development
