A Monster's Guide to Getting Rich

A father and daughter arrived in Taohua Village. The daughter knew medicine, and her father was a lame scholar. The two opened a private school and grew medicinal herbs, gradually becoming the richest family in the village. They were also lucky stars. They happened to uncover bandits' plans to attack the county seat, came across an assassin plotting to kill the Prince of Zhenbei, and caught a spy from the Dan tribe... What good people they were! The people of Taohua Village didn't know that the old man wasn't really her father, and the girl wasn't really his daughter. Old man: "Those people were too easy to beat. Who should we deal with next?" Daughter: "Violence is no good. I still need subjects for testing my new medicine." As the Hu people marched south, two monsters who had survived the chaos of war hid in the shadows, waiting for a chance to bare their fangs. Reader's Guide: 1.
