I Made a Fortune in Ancient Times and Helped the Whole Country Prosper

[New story coming! “The Ninth Prince's Carefree Days (Qing Dynasty Transmigration)”: The Ninth Prince and his brothers embrace a scientific approach to slacking off and oppose their father Kangxi's obsessive, competitive education system. Completed story: “Going Live with Journey to the West from the Start.” See the end for the preview. Follow the author for more new stories~]

Lu Yaoyao, a financial whiz, transmigrates to ancient times and becomes the poor daughter of a farming family. From the very start, she owes a loan shark money and is about to be sold to a brothel by her creditor. Just when she hits rock bottom, Lu Yaoyao gets bound to a financial System.

Lu Yaoyao laughs three times. “Don't look down on a young person just because they've transmigrated. It's only about making money, right? Your big sis Lu is a professional!”

First, she opens a currency exchange shop. When a competitor comes looking for trouble, Lu Yaoyao plays an exchange-rate fluctuation card and crushes them outright.

Next... Well, the next step is interrupted by an emergency. To resolve a crisis among the people, the Lu Family Bank appears out of nowhere. After accomplishing the great feat of rescuing the people from dire straits without bloodshed, Lu Yaoyao's greatest pleasure each day becomes listening to the crisp sound of copper coins being deposited in the vault.

After that, the National Bank is established, and the first bond is issued...

One day, Lu Yaoyao wakes up to find a row of high-ranking officials in red robes standing outside her door.

The Minister of Works says, “Boss Lu, the south wants to build an irrigation project that will benefit generations to come. Can you find a way to raise some money?”

The Minister of War says, “Boss Lu, hear me out first. The unrest in the northwest affects the very foundations of the nation. Can you find a way to raise some money?”

The last man wears a purple robe and has a handsome, distinguished air. He is none other than the current prime minister. He says, “Boss Lu, I don't want your money, but I do want your heart.”

Irreverent big bad wolf x straight-laced woman focused on making money

[Coming Soon] “Breaking the Laurel Branch”

When Tang Tang heard her father say that her marriage match had been decided, she was sucking on osmanthus candy and playing with the jade rabbit on her sword pendant.

“Who is it?”

“You know him. The boy who lived next door when you were little, now...”

Tang Tang remembered how that brat had pinned her down and given her a beating when she was four. She silently crushed the osmanthus candy in her mouth. “You don't have to say more. I know.”

That night, Tang Tang packed a small bundle and ran away under cover of darkness.

Tang Tang ran to a place called Tang Family Village.

There was no special reason. She probably thought that since they all had the surname Tang, the people there would welcome her as one of their own.

She hadn't expected it to be a rebel stronghold.

The rebels were powerful and had taken over the region. One of the rebel leader's trusted aides was a handsome, refined man. Seeing Tang Tang trussed up like a dumpling on the ground, he immediately claimed her as his wife.

Trusted aide? Tang Tang thought he was more like a grave threat to the imperial court.

On their wedding night, Tang Tang was packing her little bundle, ready to make her practiced escape, when a cool voice behind her asked, “Are you trying to run?”

That night, the grave threat finally remembered to ask Tang Tang's name as a matter of routine.

Tang Tang glanced at the osmanthus blooming outside the window and decided to use a fake name to protect herself. “Tang Guihua.”

He seemed to find something incredibly funny. His usually stern eyes curved into a rare smile, and his shoulders shook with laughter.

The imperial court surrounded Tang Family Village.

The grave threat protected her as they fought their way out of the encirclement, then walked into the central army tent and transformed into the commander-in-chief.

Tang Tang: “...You can play your counterintelligence games, but why drag me along?”

Tang Tang overheard the soldiers gossiping in the tent. It turned out this commander-in-chief, the current Third Prince and a great general of the court, was also a poor man whose bride had run away from him.

What kind of girl could be so blind?

But why was the grave threat, no, the Third Prince, looking at her with narrowed eyes after returning victorious? “Tang Tang, still haven't figured out who I am?”
