In her previous life, Zhou Muyun was a formidable princess who held sway in the imperial harem and wielded considerable influence at court. She never expected to wake up one day in the body of a miserable corporate wage slave.
The original owner worked tirelessly to support her family, putting in seven years before finally becoming a team leader.
Over the years, she had been scolded on behalf of her subordinates, taken the fall for her coworkers, and covered for her boss. After working overtime for twenty-one days straight, her vision suddenly went dark and she collapsed.
After a round of emergency treatment in the ICU, she became Zhou Muyun.
While Zhou Muyun was still lying in the hospital, she received a call from her company.
Manager: "Zhou Muyun, how much longer are you going to slack off? Are you even coming back to work or not? If not, then get out!"
Zhou Muyun furrowed her brow. "Insolence! Who gave you the nerve to speak to this princess like that?"
The manager instantly backed down, muttering under his breath, "I... Did I call the wrong person?"
A new employee accidentally breaks a client's treasured collectible, and the client demands two hundred million in compensation. Zhou Muyun sees right through it with a single remark: "That's a fake. You can't even tell real from counterfeit?"
The client slinks away.
A veteran employee gets bullied by the boss: "You've worked here all these years and have nothing to show for it. Can't you give the new hires a chance?"
Zhou Muyun fires back without missing a beat: "Exactly. So when are you going to step aside?"
The boss tries to suppress Zhou Muyun, so she simply starts a new company. She poaches all the key staff, secures billions in funding, and successfully takes the company public.
Reporter: "Ms. Zhou, as the CEO of the company that took the shortest time to launch and went public faster than any other in history, would you share any advice with us?"
Zhou Muyun: "No advice. It's all talent."
Her career-minded fans erupt in celebration.
The reporter asks again: "Then what's your greatest regret?"
Zhou Muyun thinks for a moment and says, "Maybe that I never got to ascend the throne."
Reporter: "???"
Her career-minded fans don't understand, but they keep celebrating.
Reporter: "One last question. Rumor has it that you and Professor Fu Baichuan are very close. What is your relationship?"
Zhou Muyun: "Oh, he's my investor."
Fu Baichuan clears his throat. "That's not wrong, but I'm investing in more than just her career. I'm investing in a title too."
