Earn Silver, Raise a Husband [Matriarchy]

[Plot-Focused Blurb]

Other people transmigrate and get fine clothes, good food, and a golden finger.

Shen Qingtang transmigrates and finds herself bankrupt, jilted, and bullied.

Shen Qingtang: Um...

But at least she comes from the modern era. She can put new products to use and apply modern management techniques, and she's determined to bring her family's failing business back to life.

When her competitors hear that the Shen family's spoiled young lady wants to revive the family business, they all laugh themselves into knots, saying she's getting in over her head.

And then...

Year One: The Shen family opens a branch in Shangjing, and business flourishes.

Year Two: The Shen family joins Yuncheng's Chamber of Commerce and becomes the toast of the town.

Year Three: The Shen family earns the princess's favor and becomes an imperial merchant.

Year Four: The Grand Rites Chamber of Commerce is founded, and Shen Qingtang becomes its new president. Business tycoons flock to her, begging for her protection.

Her competitors: "..." Do you think there's still a chance for us?

"No." Yan Jin, now a father, gazes at her tenderly, but speaks with disarming honesty. "Actually, I was trying to smash that brick into your head."

Shen Qingtang: "..."

So all these years of love and devotion were misplaced.
