Confiscation and Exile? The Princess Consort Is Rich Enough to Rival a Nation

A businesswoman worth tens of billions is transported into the home of an imperial tutor. Her convicted family is exiled to the frontier, where criminals are everywhere, and people think they can prey on them like easy marks? They have no idea what Su Shengsheng is capable of. Even ghosts would praise her for knowing how to make money! There’s no hope of clearing their name, no way to take the imperial exams, and the men are sentenced to hard labor for life? No problem. Women can hold up half the sky, too! Open a buffet in this famine-stricken land? You got it. Grain depots, textile mills, and maritime trade routes, she’ll get them all up and running! Women will band together to save and strengthen themselves, break free of the shackles of the scholar-farmer-artisan-merchant hierarchy, and cast off the restraints placed on them. But just as she’s sharpening her knives to take on the Indian immigrants, what is this King Asura doing ambushing her halfway there? The king: “The bridal sedan is at your door, and a hundred thousand soldiers have you surrounded. Will you marry me or not?” She fights him with business tactics, and he fights her with military strategy? It seems he doesn’t know what it means to lose both the wife and the army. She’ll just have to give him a lesson. Su Shengsheng: “Huh? How did my whole family end up switching sides?” The king smiles slyly: “My dear, you have only one strategy left. Care to use it?” - Su Shengsheng, granddaughter of the imperial tutor, spent sixteen years living quietly at home, waiting to marry the upstanding Young Master Ji. Who could have guessed that everything would change overnight, and the whole family, young and old, men and women alike, would be exiled? There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the southern frontier, but hardly any scholars, and the family has no means to support itself. The men are too weak to carry or lift anything, and even her little brother sighs that a scholar is useless in every way. Fine, then. She’ll use knowledge to build up the family! With her extraordinary memory and business acumen, she opens shops all over the place within a year. She rescues her family from hardship, helps women make their mark in business, and carves out a whole new world alongside the men. Their names are cleared, they return home, defend their country together, and build thriving trade routes. [Two formidable leads + marriage before love + memory palace]
