Ran Ningbo transmigrates into the eldest daughter of the head of the Ping Shun Escort Agency. She has a younger brother and sister born to her stepmother.
The world considers a slim waist beautiful, but the original owner is tall and fat, and suffers endless ridicule.
She secretly loves an escort guard at the agency. When she learns that he likes her slender, delicate younger sister, she falls into despair, tumbles into a river, and dies.
Former martial arts champion Ran Ningbo: "?"
You little weaklings, who gave you the nerve to be so picky!
Ran Ningbo starts adjusting her diet and gradually returns to strength training.
The escort agency is hit by misfortune, and a rival sends people to cause trouble.
Ran Ningbo has always believed in making people see reason through force. She grabs the newcomer, hoists him up, and slams him down so hard he shits himself.
Her brother and sister, along with everyone at the escort agency: "!!!"
Everyone unanimously recommends that Ran Ningbo take over as head of the agency.
Ran Ningbo accepts without hesitation. After all, three of her heavy punches had left them all wailing.
Everyone waits to see Ran Ningbo make a fool of herself. After all, what could a fat girl they looked down on possibly accomplish?
Who would have thought that Ran Ningbo would not only expand the escort agency throughout the Great Zhou, making it the greatest agency in the realm, but also open sea routes and venture into foreign lands and the Western Regions!
She establishes a martial arts school for women, showing the world the strength of women and making people think twice before provoking them.
Rival: "Ran Ningbo is shameless. She claims she's a simple brute who doesn't understand the rules, but she's craftier than a fox!"
Bandits: "Boss Ran is here? Boss Ran, please, you simply must accept this toll money!"
Emperor: "On this trip south, I'll be borrowing Ran Ningbo's escort agency."
Emperor: "I'll pay the going rate."
With overwhelming strength, Ran Ningbo can even refuse to give the emperor what he wants!
As for society's standards of beauty and judgments about being fat or thin, Ran Ningbo says, "You don't get to decide. If you don't like it, keep it to yourselves!"
Everyone knows how fearsome Head Ran is, yet men still line up to ask for her hand or offer to marry into her family, including princes and noblemen.
But the person Ran Ningbo chooses is an orphan, handsome, and mute.
Everyone is in an uproar, speculating about all sorts of plots.
Ran Ningbo: "Heh. Even now, you still act like my fathers, pointing fingers and telling me what to do. The most important reason is simple: he's mute!!!"
