I Became a Hit in Ancient Times by Opening an Embroidery Shop

Farming + golden finger + building a fortune through business

[Couple: A laid-back little prince x an embroiderer focused on making money]

After Su Xin, a modern master of imperial embroidery, died from overwork, she transmigrated and became the eldest daughter of a farming family in Xiaxi Village in ancient times.

Her family was dirt poor, and from the start she was faced with a huge debt and the prospect of being sold off to a brothel.

Fine, then. Bound to an Imperial Embroidery Inheritance System, Su Xin declared, "I'll pay back the debt, but that gambling uncle of mine has to be beaten to death!"

With skills perfectly suited to the task, she paid off the debt in no time and opened an embroidery workshop of her own.

Once business at the workshop was booming, Su Xin refused to stay a one-woman operation. She posted a recruitment notice that left her competitors dumbfounded:

Whether you were an unmarried young woman or already a married wife, Xinxiu Workshop welcomed all and would teach anyone embroidery.

Not only would apprentices get meals and lodging, but those who graduated to become full-fledged embroiderers would also receive a generous wage!

As soon as the notice went up, women across the Great Xia Dynasty flocked to Su Xin's workshop to sign up.

Some people thought Su Xin was an idiot. What craftswoman didn't keep her embroidery techniques secret, afraid that someone else might learn them?

Many of her competitors waited to see her make a fool of herself.

But as they waited, Su Xin's workshop didn't close. Instead, it grew bigger and bigger, even taking on business from the imperial palace.

Wait, what? Are you saying that the prince wearing the newest outfit from our workshop is Zhao Wenjun, the current emperor's fourth son?

Why does he look exactly like my silly husband, Shange?

To avoid arousing suspicion and resentment from his elder brother, Zhao Wenjun deliberately acted like a fool and took the assumed name Shen Shan, living among ordinary people. He thought that once his elder brother successfully ascended the throne, he wouldn't have to spend every day in fear anymore.

Who could have guessed that just because he thought the pretty little embroiderer from the countryside was cute and teased her a couple of times, she'd suddenly show up at his door and tell him to take responsibility for her???

Zhao Wenjun, who was hastily forced into marriage, was at a loss. Even worse, his wife was a wife in name only, but her business kept growing until he had no choice but to embark on a path he'd never imagined...
