Is It Hard to Get Rich? This Little Darling Can Travel Between Past and Present!

Breaking news! The Jiang family, who had nothing to their name, brought home a little lucky charm from a Taoist temple, and their fortunes just kept getting better!

Jiang Shuning grew up at the temple until she was five, learning all sorts of skills. The moment she returned home, she found her parents’ grain being lowballed by unscrupulous merchants and their awful relatives sucking up to the rich while looking down on the poor. Jiang Shuning pulled out her phone: Merchants trying to drive down the price? She sold all the grain to a hungry crown prince in ancient times. Relatives causing trouble? The crown prince sent her antiques, rare medicinal herbs, lost crafts, and even rare earth minerals and oil bubbling up from the ground! She also helped him establish modern agriculture, industry, and military manufacturing, allowing him to unite the realm! Who could have seen that coming? She was just playing a little development game, and now she had an entire empire backing her up!

The emperor was incompetent, the empire faced threats within and without, and years of natural disasters had left the people starving. When the young crown prince, Lu Yunzheng, spoke out, he was exiled to a forbidden land. Just as the convict slaves were about to revolt and the people were about to starve or freeze to death in a snowy winter, a little girl of five and a half appeared and fed him. From then on, the young crown prince’s eyes were opened to a whole new world by the little girl. He stockpiled supplies and saved the people. He learned new technologies, promoted science and education, executed treacherous officials, quelled rebellions, and ushered in a golden age. Many years later, Lu Yunzheng finally watched that little girl grow into a graceful young woman. He presented Jiang Shuning with the marriage contract and phoenix crown and robes he had prepared for years, along with the empire he had conquered. Before Jiang Shuning could reply, her brother grabbed her by the scruff of the neck. “Dating before you’re old enough?”
