A Stunning Beauty Marries a Powerful Man in a Period Novel

Bai Lu was nothing but an adopted stepdaughter and a disposable character, taken in because of superstition so she could extend her stepsister's life. After the two girls exchanged lives for eighteen years, her stepfather and stepmother brought their biological daughter home, now safe from her fate of certain death, and ruthlessly kicked the timid Bai Lu out.

After transmigrating into Bai Lu's body, she shed her former timidity. Following a fierce struggle, she took the 1,000 yuan paid to sever ties and began an explosive journey to wealth.

A few years later, Bai Lu bought up entire blocks, built skyscrapers, and rode the tide of the times into real estate. Then, before the market turned, she withdrew and began promoting pagers nationwide, eventually founding the country's first telecommunications company with independently owned technology.

A reporter from the national media interviews this trendsetter: What kind of environment gave you such a sharp eye for investment?

Bai Lu: Being poor.

The reporter asks again: When you invested in pagers, did you know they would become the country's leading means of communication?

Bai Lu: They were cheaper to invest in than car phones.

The reporter presses on: Does your partnership with the renowned Lu family of Hong Kong mean you have an even grander vision?

Bai Lu: I don't know about grand visions. He just pursued me too fiercely. Honestly, I didn't want this either.

National media: ...!
