The Merchant's Favorite

Qiu Yingying, a financial data analyst, transmigrates one day into the body of a good-for-nothing concubine-born daughter in an ancient merchant family. In her previous life, she longed for warmth amid cold data. Now she decides to forge a different life for herself. Using business acumen far ahead of its time, she saves her family from crisis and unexpectedly meets four extraordinary men, each with a different identity and agenda: • Huang Boxi (male lead): On the surface, he is a wealthy merchant who wants no part of worldly affairs, but in truth he is the last survivor of the previous dynasty and carries the fate of the realm in his heart. He is her soulmate and, ultimately, the one she chooses. • Shao Bianyou (supporting male character): A principled censor famed throughout the land. Initially her political enemy, he becomes her staunchest political ally through their repeated clashes of ideas. • Chanyu Tao (supporting male character): A frontier general commanding a powerful army. At first he looks down on women in business, but after witnessing her extraordinary logistical abilities during wartime, he becomes the sharpest sword protecting her. • Han Shangdong (supporting male character): A member of the imperial family. At first he only wants to make use of her wealth, but after seeing the scope of her vision, he finds himself torn between affection and self-interest. Qiu Yingying navigates her relationships with all four men, using commerce as leverage to reshape the realm. From a mere merchant's daughter, she grows into the "Goddess of Wealth," building an economic empire across the nine provinces and using business to promote peace and improve people's lives. This is a supreme clash of ancient business warfare and court intrigue, as well as an epic tale of a modern independent woman pursuing a career and love in another world.
