Returning to the Republic of China Era to Cultivate Immortality After Winning the Palace Intrigue

Wu Ling transmigrates into the harem of Emperor Mingzhen as an insignificant concubine. To stay alive, she fights her way through the palace intrigues until she becomes Empress Dowager. Life is as lonely as snow, and all she wants is to seek immortality and return to the modern age. As her years dwindle, she finally finds a chance at immortality.

When she wakes again, she discovers she has returned to the Republican era, bringing with her all the wealth she had amassed in the private treasury as Empress Dowager. She opens a pawnshop and does business with people from all walks of life, eventually becoming a notorious force to be reckoned with in Shanghai's glittering world.

The riches of Shanghai may dazzle the eye, but they cannot sway Wu Ling's heart. She only wants to make money conspicuously and cultivate immortality discreetly, lighting a beacon for those who struggle onward in the darkness, holding fast to their beliefs.

Everyone knows that the pawnshop known as No Fate in Shanghai's bustling city has flexible rules. The price of every item depends entirely on Shopkeeper Wu's mood. She has eyes and ears everywhere, and wealth beyond measure.

Only after making her way to the top does she realize that the proud warlord who has always helped her and risked his life for her is none other than Emperor Mingzhen, the man who, in her previous life, refused to let go of her hand even as he died!
