Yan Wan, the sixth legitimate daughter of the richest family in Nan Hang, was beautiful and clever. But her father didn't love her, her mother was frail, and she died at the hands of her white-lotus half-sister after one careless mistake.
Yan Wan, a modern inheritor of kesi silk-weaving, transmigrates and is reborn in the past. To avoid trouble, she pretends to be a sickly beauty.
Then she shuts her doors and builds a business from scratch with her weaving skills, step by step creating her own commercial empire.
Yan Wan: What's the point of scheming at home when making money is so much better?
What? The wealthy merchant who helped her in her schemes is actually the infamous Eunuch of Nine Thousand Years, a powerful figure at court.
Wasn't the Eunuch of Nine Thousand Years supposed to be cruel, sinister, and bloodthirsty? Then who is this little lamb resting his chin on her collarbone?!

The whip landed on Yan Wan's back, tearing her outer robe. Bright red beads of blood rolled down her skin.
When the commotion outside began, Yan Wan struggled to open her eyes.
She saw a fist-sized hole burst through the executioner's chest. The white-feathered arrow kept going, embedding itself in the stone wall behind him.
With a cold expression, Wen Huaixu lifted her from the ground and carried her out of the dungeon without looking back. His thin lips moved, his killing intent unmistakable. "Break their bones, tear out their tendons, flay them alive, but don't let them die..."
"You came..."
"Didn't I tell you? If anything happens, give them your husband's name."
"But what about His Majesty..."
"If His Majesty won't listen, we'll replace him with another emperor."
Note:
1. Devoted romance with both leads' hearts and bodies belonging only to each other! One-on-one!
2. At first, the male lead pursues his wife under a secret identity. Once it's revealed, he pursues her openly. In short, it's sweet, sweet, sweet!
3. It's all about the contrast. Both leads are different on the inside from how they appear.
4. The heroine isn't a hopeless romantic. Most of the time, she's focused on building her business.
5. Not for readers who demand historical accuracy.
A preview of my upcoming novel, "Chasing Spring's Splendor"
Blurb:
After a dance in flowing sleeves and crimson skirts, the hall is filled with a rain of red silk.
She is the famous dancer of Xi Jing. She sells her art, not her body, yet still holds the title of top courtesan.
The world knows her only as Yun Shang.
But no one knows that she is the youngest daughter of the Li family, massacred in the greatest case in Bian An over a decade ago.
In the morning, she was born to wealth. By evening, she had become an entertainer selling smiles.
She knows she was never meant to remain in the mud. She must devote herself to climbing upward if she hopes to uncover the truth about what happened back then.
Chu Ji, the emperor's third son, was made Prince of Ru Yin at birth and ranks above all the other princes.
Rumor has it that he is ruthless and deeply calculating, a demon straight from hell.
And yet, this man, who has always kept his distance from women, spends a fortune at Chun Fang just to make a beauty smile.
He even sends an eight-bearer sedan chair and dresses the whole city in red to welcome her into his residence.
Everyone says the woman is scheming, trying to rise from a lowly branch to become a phoenix, and deliberately getting close to him.
Chu Ji, however, doesn't care.
Amid the brilliant glow of countless candles and cups brimming with fine wine, who can say for sure who is the hunter and who is the prey?
[One-on-one, both leads' hearts and bodies belong only to each other, satisfying romance]
1. The heroine is a scheming villainess who won't be redeemed. The hero isn't a good person either. Not for moral paragons.
2. Intense push and pull. The heroine seems proactive at first, but is clear-headed; the hero seems cold, but has already given his heart to someone.
The complete manuscript is underway. If you're interested, please add it to your collection~
