The Master Thief Arrives Uninvited

[Steady Updates, Plenty of Chapters in Reserve. Please Bookmark and Comment!] The blurb for my next novel, Who Could Say No to a Rich Woman? (System), is at the very bottom.

Her master taught Yun Que just one thing: the ones who drown are the ones who know how to swim. So he taught her only the finest lightness skills. The moment she lifted a leg, she was already running away, and no one could catch her. That was how she grew up safe and sound.

A child who is raised but not taught will grow up crooked. It was no surprise that she became a thief.

She had snuck into the treasury of Jiangnan's richest man and into a frontier general's tent. Then, while breaking into Prince Li's residence in the capital one night, she was caught red-handed.

From then on, a martial arts tale was forcibly turned into a struggle for power. Yun Que had no idea that someone who could steal a tiger tally and dare to steal the imperial seal could casually turn the fight for the throne into a complete mess.

The court was in chaos, and Prince Li was bewildered. Not only had years of planning become a joke, but his heart had flown away, too. Fortunately, the master thief knew nothing about romance, so he could slowly win her over. But someone had already surrounded the master thief on all sides:

Chief of the Hidden Guards: "I acknowledge only one person whose martial arts surpass mine."

Young Master of the Number One Pawnshop: "She is the real priceless treasure!"

Top Scholar of the imperial examinations: "I am not talented enough to capture even a fraction of her brilliance."

Cold-faced senior brother: "She is the only person I care about."

Prince Li, long familiar with the ups and downs of officialdom, naturally knew how to seize someone by their weakness:

"Have you ever wondered what you would need to obtain to gather all the world's treasures?"

"The key to your treasury."

"How can something inanimate help you?"

"...But I've never learned how to steal a person!"

"I'll teach you."

You are the courage that makes me stop running away.

Reader's Guide:

1. A powerful prince who longs to retire x a living legend among thieves who bolts at the first opportunity

2. The setting is entirely fictional and not based on real history

Introducing my new novel, Who Could Say No to a Rich Woman? (System)

[Steady updates. Please bookmark it like your life depends on it! Thank you!]

Yao Fu is bound to a System that will kill her if she doesn't spend money.

Timed mission: Spend ten million.

Failure penalty: Suffocate for ten minutes.

After just one punishment, Yao Fu decides that she can spend not only ten million, but even a hundred million! (sobbing)

Fortunately, the System does more than punish her. It can also offer Yao Fu some rather unorthodox investment advice.

For example: sponsor an older competitive swimmer; bail out a fund manager whose entire portfolio is in the red; make a movie for a has-been celebrity from the bottom of the industry; help a CEO whose three companies have gone bankrupt start over; continually invest in research on immortality...

Watching everyone thank her with tears in their eyes, Yao Fu says, "No need to thank me. I'm doing it for my life, too. QAQ"

Before long, the fund manager makes a comeback as a genius trader, the swimmer wins gold for the country, the has-been becomes a Best Actor, and scientific research benefits humanity. Even the CEO manages to make his rivals go bankrupt with a single word!

Yao Fu's father, a nouveau riche who still lives frugally, breaks down in tears: "I knew my girl would go far! My girl is an investment genius!"

Yao Fu: Hehe.

System: Hmph.

Theme: A gentleman loves wealth, but acquires it by proper means.
