Ruyi House

Qiu Yingying, a financial whiz, transmigrates overnight into the owner of the Ruyi Workshop in the capital of the Great Chu Dynasty, along with a fat landlord creditor who lusts after her beauty. Faced with a business on the verge of collapse, Qiu Yingying rolls up her sleeves and decides to use modern business strategies to crush the competition. She gives the Ruyi Workshop a whole new identity: the Great Chu Dynasty’s first boy-band entertainment agency. Xuanyuan Ji, a musician burdened by a blood feud and the last survivor of the previous dynasty, becomes her first “talent trainee.” Mo Yuan, the cold and ruthless master of the Shadow Pavilion and a master assassin with a thousand faces, is poached with a sky-high contract to be the group’s “martial arts ace.” Gu Changning, a haughty little prince who cannot fight and is constantly bullied, is taken in as the group’s “adorable darling.” Ning Yi, a grim general who returns from the borderlands badly wounded and disabled, is tricked into providing free security as the group’s “visual centerpiece.” Everyone thinks she is just a merchant who loves money above all else. But when the capital is swept up in turmoil and imperial power is overturned, the astonishing identities of Qiu Yingying and her handsome men are revealed one by one. Only then do people realize that her grand scheme uses handsome men as pieces and the whole world as her chessboard! Just as the workshop’s “top stars” are fiercely competing for the “center spot” and their boss’s favor, Qiu Yingying quietly packs her bags and throws them a coquettish wink. “Stop fighting. We’re opening our next branch in Jiangnan!”
