Blurb:
[Strong female lead, satisfying power fantasy + political intrigue + business + officialdom battles + sweet romance]
[A heroine who pretends to be a fool to catch her enemies, bold and carefree, and a hero who seems like a noble gentleman but is actually clingy and anxiously in love]
Jiang Shutong transmigrates into the fictional Western Yan Dynasty and experiences, in the time it takes to watch one TV episode, the melodramatic rise of a wealthy merchant and the execution of her entire family.
The original owner's useless father is killed off early. To save her own life, Jiang Shutong has no choice but to use her exceptionally keen sense of smell to overturn the case, only to accidentally get entangled in the imperial court and officialdom.
A treacherous Inspector General holds military power and is secretly involved in illegal dealings.
Watching the merchants under him, A, B, C, and D, abuse their positions and rake in a fortune, Jiang Shutong decisively joins the rat race.
She pits her wits against the Inspector General's many retainers and finally fights her way into becoming his right-hand woman.
Inspector General Nie Zhenglian also privately assumes that this woman will be easy to control.
Who could have guessed that just as he is poisoning Wen Tingyan, the Minister of Revenue, this woman would blunder into the room and knock a cup of poisoned wine to the floor? She even lands right in the Minister of Revenue's arms.
Jiang Shutong: ...My lord, I have an urgent matter to report!
Wen Tingyan: ...
Inspector General: You'd better really have something important to report!
Just as Jiang Shutong is finding her stride on the path of villainy, Wen Tingyan, the Minister of Revenue, the man she has betrayed and rejected countless times, keeps earnestly trying to persuade her to stop and join the righteous side.
Afraid Wen Tingyan will make trouble for her future business ventures, Jiang Shutong gives him a token bit of reassurance. Who knew that this legendary aloof beauty would start pursuing her relentlessly...
Later, when Jiang Shutong sells wine, the minister uses his handsome face to become her top salesman.
When Jiang Shutong takes part in the Six Capitals Chamber of Commerce for the first time, the minister brings the Carefree Prince to lend her his support.
When Jiang Shutong becomes the head of her own chamber of commerce, the minister kidnaps the emperor to serve as her spokesperson...
Jiang Shutong: Lord Wen, which one of us is the villain here?!
As Jiang Shutong's reputation becomes infamous and she thrives as a "corrupt merchant," the Inspector General has already prepared to frame her for corruption.
Before Wen Tingyan can return to the capital, news spreads that Jiang Shutong has died amid a band of rebel assassins.
The usually mild-mannered Minister of Revenue, Wen Tingyan, suddenly becomes the executioner Regent of Western Yan, a man whose name strikes terror into all who hear it. In a single night, he wipes out the households of every corrupt official.
But Jiang Shutong survives by borrowing the identity of another family's royal consort. She returns with evidence of the Inspector General's corruption, gathers signatures from a hundred families, and heads to the capital to petition the court.
The Inspector General never gets to see Jiang Shutong brought down or the Minister of Revenue dismissed. Instead, he waits and waits, only to receive a list of his own crimes.
Meanwhile, Wen Tingyan and Jiang Shutong, who should have turned against each other, end up wrapped around one another, their heads and necks pressed together.
The noble Regent lowers himself to climb into the bed of the nominal "royal consort" of Eastern Liang, then clings to her, crying through gritted teeth: "You promised you'd marry only me..."
Jiang Shutong, who only ever wanted to make money and has never pursued a man: ...

*Upcoming novel in the author's collection: The Three Realms Are Waiting for Me to Apprehend My Dao Companion
Luo Ling is a new-era student who barely made it through school. After transmigrating, she uses exam-taking tricks to just scrape into a position as a divine official, becoming a proud prison guard of the Divine Realm. But she loses her job the moment she starts. The VIP prisoner held for three thousand years, the Godslayer Demon Lotus, breaks through its seal and descends to the mortal realm, shaking the Three Realms.
Heavenly Emperor: You lost him, so you go catch him.
Luo Ling is stunned: ?? You can't pin this on me like that! You're sending someone as weak as me to catch a max-level boss? That's even more unreasonable than making me take the college entrance exam for Tsinghua!
With ghosts roaming the night and identity checks growing strict in the mortal world, Luo Ling makes a contract with a kind mortal doctor so she can get her undocumented status legalized. Her husband is gentle and beautiful, and accompanies her as she exorcises ghosts and demons. Luo Ling berates herself for getting distracted by his looks, while also thinking that this cozy life isn't so bad.
Until one night, emboldened by alcohol, she gets handsy with him, only to see his eyes grow red at the corners as he finally gives in. Beside him, a phantom lotus blooms. Luo Ling rubs her eyes. "What is this, a 3D special effect? Am I dreaming?"
Her husband's body burns hot as he fills the room with flowers, obsessively begging her to promise him a lifetime together. Luo Ling finally senses something is wrong. Belatedly, she grips his lapel, her heart pounding:
"Put your pants on first... May I ask who you really are?"
It seems he has mistaken her for someone else. His overwhelming emotions tangle together, and his voice turns strained. "Three thousand years ago, you chose someone else and pushed me away. Are you going to do the same thing again?"
Luo Ling is baffled: How do I play the white moonlight of this demon lord? Asking online, urgent!
The Ghost King emerges, and Luo Ling's secret identity is exposed, drawing a crowd of attackers. Her kind and benevolent husband suddenly changes expression. With a wave of his hand, hundreds of ghosts turn to ash.
Heaven and earth are transformed.
The Summoning Banner, which has been missing for half a year, flutters wildly and tags Luo Ling in the sky: "It's him! Hurry up and enforce the law!!!"
The Heavenly Emperor appears with the divine officials and forces her to punish the world-destroying Demon Lotus.
Luo Ling finally understands who her husband has been jealous of all along.
In full view of everyone, Luo Ling looks at the Heavenly Emperor, driven mad by jealousy, then at her husband, whose eyes are shattered with grief.
The next moment, she turns around and burns the divine banner to ashes. Amid cries of shock, she takes her husband's wrist. "Work's over. Let's go home."
Reading guide:
One couple, happy ending. Both leads are powerful: a clever, theatrical goddess who pretends to be an idle fish but is really a workaholic x a world-destroying demon lord who likes to act weak and is just as theatrical.
The heroine has amnesia at first, but regains her memories later.

The column has been completed and the fantasy fairy tale "After Dragon n Generation was escorted to the Immortal Cultivation Academy" is welcome to take a look. The next volume will be "My Villain Has a Physique of Abuse", in which a goddess pursues her husband. The copy is as follows: After the war between gods and demons, the demon lord Tai Sheng, who had long been unbeatable, kidnapped the god king Yao Yao, whose divine veins had been severed, and imprisoned him for a hundred years. The three realms fear him and hate him, but this demon possesses evil powers and is invincible. Little did he know that such a demon lord fell in love with the impending death of the divine king Yao Yao, and was tortured to death. The spiritual energy is lost and dispersed, and pills are of no help. The Demon Lord, who had no good luck at all and had never believed in Buddhism, knelt before the Buddhist shrine and prayed for hundreds of years for her to be safe and healthy for the rest of her life. A hundred years later, Yao Yao is still dying. The demon lord who fell into despair finally used his evil skills to fight for his own life. At the best age, he accepted the backlash and melted into the funeral coffin, leaving not even ashes behind. Yao Yao, who had just met love for the first time, was left crying with tears streaming down her face. A cyanotic bead takes time back three thousand years ago. At that time, he was still a young man known as the "evil species" in the Demon Palace. He was in a state of embarrassment and received cold looks, struggling to move among the vicious sons and daughters of the Demon Lord. And she is a high-ranking divine monarch, admired and praised by all parties, with unlimited glory. A few days later, the god Yao Yao, who never accepted disciples, was surrounded by a handsome but gloomy and indifferent demon disciple. Tai Sheng didn't understand why Lord Yao Yao always smiled at him. The originally cold and dignified goddess even touched his hand and hugged his waist ambiguously in private. She said: The relationship between master and apprentice is informal and is like this. Tai Sheng asked: Are you looking for an apprentice, or are you looking for a young and beautiful child foster husband? Yao Yao, who felt guilty, answered him with a quote from a scumbag: If you think like this, there is nothing I can do about it. Everyone said that the young disciple next to Shenjun Yao Yao really cared about her, but Shenjun probably just used him as a furnace, and the furnace would inevitably be replaced sooner or later. In the troubled times of evil, Tai Sheng rebelled against Tiangang, betrayed the demon clan, and vowed to be Yao Yao's sharpest weapon, but accidentally fell into the mortal world and experienced disaster. Throughout his life of suffering, even if he came to the human world to experience calamity, he could not escape the fate of being tortured. Unexpectedly, when he was a fox demon, a female Taoist priest followed him to protect him, and she took the trouble to coax him to put on the protective robe again and again, lest he be taken away by the Taoist priest... Even though she was a Taoist priest herself... He was a rich man, and the female general went to the battlefield just to protect him, ensuring the stability of his family and country for hundreds of years... He was a down-and-out prince, and the prince and tutor overthrew the imperial power for him... Tai Sheng finally recovered his memory and returned. Everyone said that Yao Yao's behavior was unruly and might bring heavenly punishment to Tai Sheng. The woman surrounded by divine light faced the world's doubts and said calmly: "If there is a punishment from heaven, I will break the sky with one sword." # InnocenceVillain is a great injustice #But he seems to like me #Forget it, I feel sorry for him too
"People recognize you" is a big bug for the author~ think?
"Don't eat if you don't know" is a big bug for the author~ eat
It's a very cute article, but the plot logic of the story still needs to be strengthened! The character setting still needs to be refined! Jiang Jiang and Wen Wen are so cute!
The next volume of the column contains an advance copy of "The Cyan Pearl Order". The heroine is on the right path under the white moonlight at the altar, chasing her husband against the clock. Please collect it~
Happy New Year, Happy New Year~
