Qi Ji was the most dazzling and peerless ruler of Great Qi, whose briefest glance had once captivated the world.
Unfortunately, this godlike figure who had smiled while plucking a flower in the clouds was emperor for only half a day before the iron cavalry of the enemy emperor, Li Qianjie, broke through the palace gates and made him a ruler of a fallen kingdom.
Everyone who heard the news was heartbroken, wishing they could suffer the fall of the kingdom in Qi Ji's place and slowly carve the tyrant Li Qianjie to death.
But they didn't know...
Qi Ji's travel bundle contained neither the imperial seal nor valuables. It was stuffed full of his sisters' rouge and storybooks.
His twelve older sisters hurriedly stuffed him into a carriage, their makeup streaked with tears. "Jiji, your kingdom is gone."
Qi Ji hugged the things his sisters had packed for him, looking confused. "...It's fine, it's fine. What matters is that I gave it a try. We'll just take it back in a few days."

To restore their kingdom, the thirteen siblings decided to launch a large-scale business venture in the territory of their sworn enemy, Li Qianjie, and drain his treasury dry.
Before long, countless "conscientious" businesses sprang up across the enemy kingdom.

Li Qianjie realized that ever since he had accepted the request to temporarily manage Great Qi's affairs, nothing had gone his way.
The tax revenue in his treasury had somehow been beaten by Qi's Trading Company, and even if he wanted a cup of good tea, he had to depend on the mood of its owner.
Unable to take it any longer, Li Qianjie went out in plain clothes, determined to meet the owner of Qi's Trading Company.
But before he even reached the shop, he was bombarded along the way by his subjects' chatter.
"See that? The Thirteenth Master of Qi's Trading Company is the real beauty."
"Exactly! He's ten times more handsome than the legendary Emperor Qi Ji of Great Qi used to be!"
"Shh, keep your voice down! Someone like him mustn't let our king see him..."
"Why not?"
"Do you even have to ask? With our king's reputation as a womanizer, what else could happen if he saw the Thirteenth Master? He'd drag him straight into the harem. That would be such a waste!"
Li Qianjie's face darkened as he listened. He hadn't even touched a woman's hand in his life, so how had he become a womanizer???
Had the people under his rule all been bewitched by this merchant's beauty?!
He would see for himself just what kind of beauty could throw his court into disarray and win the admiration of the whole city...
