*My new novel, Catching the Rain and Planting Crops with Science, is now out. Come check it out~
[Completed business-management novel: I Opened a Bookshop in the Tang Dynasty]
The Gates of Hell is a special amusement park. The ghosts in the haunted house are real ghosts, and the dragons on the roller coaster are real dragons...
The atmosphere is terrifying and the rides are thrilling. Visitors all say they love it (while trembling).
One day, Jiang Ya suddenly found herself in possession of an amusement park. A System calling itself an immortal promised that if she ran it properly, she could keep all the profits.
Jiang Ya had always dreamed of becoming rich, but she was broke and had no way to put her business ideas to use.
Wasn't this a godsend? She'd run it properly, for sure!
But after taking over, she discovered that the resentful ghosts, evil dragons, and demon beasts... weren't human employees at all.
Jiang Ya: ...Then I'll just open a horror-themed amusement park!
And so, the Gates of Hell was born.
Black and White Impermanence landed NPC jobs. The haunted house became a popular attraction because the experience felt too real, bringing in mountains of money every day. The Gates of Hell amusement park became an overnight sensation.
Later,
A divine dragon became a roller coaster, a divine beast transformed into a carousel, and the fiends from the Eighteen Levels of Hell worked as ticket sellers and cleaners. Yao Ji, Meng Po, Hua Tuo...
The Gates of Hell became famous.
Later still,
The Gates of Hell became known for its food, medicine, and ghostbusting.
Restaurants, merchandise, hotels... the park kept expanding, and tickets became impossible to get.
As China's first underworld-themed amusement park, the Gates of Hell offered such an incredible experience that variety shows and movie studios clamored to collaborate, while visitors arrived in an endless stream.
Jiang Ya counted money until her hand cramped.
At the Gates of Hell brand launch,
Reporter: "What inspired you to establish the Gates of Hell amusement park?"
Newly ranked among the country's wealthiest, Jiang Ya: "That secret cannot be revealed."
Blurb 2: (The male lead has little page time, basically just a tool character o(≧v≦)o)
In the immortal realm, people said that Lord Mu Shi had cut off all his feelings and was hot-tempered. All the immortals kept their distance from him.
One day, the Lord returned from the mortal realm with a sweet-smiling human girl by his side.
Even more shocking, Lord Mu Shi, who was rumored to kill immortals without blinking, stayed right by the girl's side and took every opportunity to beg for kisses, hugs, and cuddles.
The immortals: Did the Lord damage his brain when he descended to the mortal realm?!
Mu Shi: (sighs) My wife can't be without me.
Gates of Hell staff: ...Ahem, the Lord is absolutely right!
Jiang Ya: This handsome immortal special envoy is so socially anxious. I'll have to look after him at work. Wait, wait, wait! What's that look for... Your hand, put it back!

[Reader's Guide]:
1. An amateur, fluffy story.
2. The male lead has little page time, basically just a tool character.
3. This is the author's first novel, and the pacing may be uneven.
Coming next
I Opened a Bookshop in the Tang Dynasty
A strange bookshop opened in the Eastern Market.
The young lady running it had an exceptionally lovely face but was thin as a stalk. The goods she sold were even more unheard-of.
Not only did she turn precious Xuan paper into "loose-leaf notebooks," she also sold curious items such as "pencils," "erasers," and "document folders."
The white block called an "eraser" could actually rub away the graphite marks made by a "pencil." What a rare marvel!
The shopkeeper was also quite the salesperson, able to sell her goods with just a few words.
"Limited-time sale," "bundle discount," "membership top-up," "gift set"...
No one left the bookshop with their purse still full!
Shop owner Jiang Jiang said, "Easy peasy~ After being bombarded with every kind of marketing trick in the modern world, doing business in an ancient marketplace is a piece of cake!"
As the ancients say, "Too much pride brings divine retribution." After she traveled to the past to start a business, the retribution came all the sooner.
Sure enough, several "uniformed officers" walked out of the nearby tavern and strode into Jiang Jiang's shop. "Who are you? What are you selling? Have you registered? Show us your permit!"
Uh-oh~ They were here to check her papers.
In just one month, the shabby little shop had become the hottest place in Chang'an.
"Have you heard? The poetry collections by the great masters go on sale exclusively tomorrow!"
"Which great masters? Bai Juyi, Li Shangyin, Liu Yuxi, and..."
Before the speaker could finish, everyone gathered around to listen had vanished.
Where had they gone?
Obviously, they'd gone to line up early!
Whenever a great master's new poems came out, scholars scrambled to copy them, and paper had become a hot commodity. Yet this bookshop had collected their poems in one volume.
How could anyone pass up the chance to queue for the first release?!
[Little Skit]
On the day of the bookshop's first promotional event, just before opening time
Shop assistant: Boss, will this "ringers in the crowd" trick work?
The customers didn't seem very interested in the event to begin with, and we'd already spent quite a bit of silver hiring these fake customers. What if we don't make a single sale today?
Jiang Jiang, marketing whiz: "Shh~ Just watch."
You can't underestimate the bandwagon effect.
Even if it doesn't work, we've already plastered advertisements everywhere.
Before long, a young gentleman holding a folding fan walked by. He looked at the long line outside the shop, then stepped forward and asked, "Good sir, may I ask why this bookshop is so popular?"
Customer in line (an actor), eyes wide with surprise: "You seem like a well-read young gentleman. How have you not heard? Everyone in the city is scrambling to get the shop's 'new Four Treasures of the Study'... and all kinds of other wonderful writing supplies... The famous poets and scholars are all after them. They'll be gone soon, so hurry!"
"Thank you!"
The young man with the fan bowed in thanks, then hurried over to join the end of the line, looking delighted as if he'd found a treasure.
Then came a second, a third...
By the time the shop officially opened fifteen minutes later, the line outside stretched beyond sight.
Shop assistant: The boss is so clever, she's a genius!
Theme: Work hard and do your best. With bread in hand, love is yours too!
The story is well written and the plot flows smoothly, making you want to keep watching. However, it is a pity that there are too few emotional lines between the male and female protagonists, and the male protagonist does not have many scenes. It seems that he is often in the background. It would be perfect if this part could be improved.
If you are Li Hua... Please introduce the following novels to your foreign friends: [1]. "I Opened a Bookstore (Management) in Datang" is being serialized... [2]. "Landscape Pastoral Infrastructure Game (Farming)" (Game + Farming + Physical Geography + Infrastructure...) (Advance receipt) [3]. "Escape from this Mountain" (The text is as the name suggests, see the column for details) (*╯3╰) Come and browse the author's column~
"I Opened a Bookstore [Business] in the Tang Dynasty" New article has been opened (*╯3╰) Please support me!
"Going" is a big bug for the author~ medicine
Awesome, highly recommended. The career line and the emotional line are perfectly integrated. It would be nice if there were more extra chapters for the male and female protagonists, such as getting married and having children.
The story is finished~ The plot is fluent and innovative, and the writing is also very good. Although the male and female protagonists do not have many emotional scenes in the main text, the ending together will not be awkward.
Gone (⊙x⊙;)
After reading it, I feel aggrieved.
I want to see the pre-collection, when will it open?
I read it in one go, I want to see it
