Merchant of a Great Nation

Not long after transmigrating to an alternate era, Jiang Xia, a top real estate agent, was kidnapped by an assassination organization.

After finally escaping, she and her older brother were left to live in dire poverty.

With the siblings about to be thrown out of their home and left to starve, Jiang Xia dove headfirst into the despised profession of property brokerage.

At first, everyone mocked a young woman for becoming a broker, saying she was debasing herself.

But with her silver tongue, she took on the nineteen trades of Xichuan and became a renowned broker across the sixteen cities of the Northern Frontier.

From the Western Regions to the northern tribes and the small nations of the Eastern Sea... wherever there was business, her brokerage network had it under control.

She became a favored guest of six rulers, winning both fame and fortune.

Plenty of people came to ask her for help.

By then, she was wealthier than a nation, and she loved asking people one question: What is your dream?

If she liked them, she spared no expense in helping them.

If she didn't, she'd snuff out their dreams before they could take root.

But as time passed, she realized she seemed to have lost her own dreams.

That is, until the bailiffs dragged her to the execution ground to be beheaded.

She looked up at the executioner's chipped blade.

Then, in all seriousness, she offered the county magistrate a practical suggestion.

I'll pay to replace the county office's execution blades.

Could you get me a new one in time?

Little Scene:

Jiang Xia's motto: Life is short, but there's no end to making money.

She heard that the young master of the city's Datong Bank was a kind-hearted boy who got bullied every time he went out to collect debts.

Seeing a business opportunity, Jiang Xia went to offer her services. "Don't worry, Young Master Chen. Hire me as your assistant, and no debt will go uncollected!"

Later, as Jiang Xia's memories began to return, Chen Guannan started to look familiar.

Jiang Xia: Have we met somewhere before?

Chen Guannan: You stole my family's heirloom jade pendant and chased me off like a dog, and now you say you don't know me?

Jiang Xia: ...All right. She finally remembered who the kid was.

This story is set in a fictional world, and it's very fictional.

Independent, clear-headed shopkeeper x seemingly proper but actually carefree, hopelessly lovesick top scholar

As the daughter of an official, Jiang Shuyue observed every rule and was the very model of a refined young lady.

Even her ideal match was no different from those of the other young ladies in the capital: a top scholar in a red robe, riding a white horse.

A corruption case destroyed her family and left her adrift in the martial world.

Years later, by day she was the proprietress of the Peaceful Inn. In secret, she was the chivalrous thief White Tea Immortal, robbing the rich to help the poor.

She was beautiful enough to turn heads, and the city's powerful men and scholars often came to propose. She rejected them all.

Someone asked what sort of man she wanted to marry.

She answered: A dashing young man in fine clothes, a carefree wanderer of the martial world.

**

Pei Xuyan, Young Palace Master of the Seven Stars Palace, the foremost demonic sect in the martial world.

Even as a boy, his handsome face and sword made him the heartthrob of countless young women across the martial world.

While traveling, he once happened to save a little girl.

She was delicate and sweet, but that didn't stop him from falling for her.

He heard the girl admired top scholars in red robes who rode white horses.

Although he hated studying more than anything, he studied day and night, even hanging his hair from a beam and pricking his thigh with an awl to stay awake.

He passed the imperial examinations with top honors.

But then he learned the girl had already died.

Later, he found out that not only was the girl alive, but her ideal man had also become a carefree wanderer of the martial world.

Pei Xuyan, who had risen three ranks and was now a prime minister-in-waiting: ...Can he still resign from office?

Little Scene

After refusing a marriage alliance with the prime minister's family, Pei Xuyan was banished to Ning'an City to serve as a minor county magistrate.

He was determined to prove himself.

Now that he was an official, he had to find a chance to distinguish himself.

He heard that thieves were running rampant in the city, especially the chivalrous thief White Tea Immortal, their leader.

Pei Xuyan resolved to bring the thief to justice.

On his first day in office: White Tea Immortal robs homes and defies the law. I will bring them to justice.

One month into the job: The people robbed by White Tea Immortal deserved it.

Six months in: The city is so peaceful people leave lost things where they are and never lock their doors. What thieves?

A year in: Everyone in the city heard that their brilliant and upright Magistrate Pei had resigned for White Tea Immortal, and the two had run away together with a little bundle of luggage~
