Get Rich! My Family’s Bronze Mirror Connects Past and Present

I looked in the mirror in the middle of the night.

But the face in it wasn't mine.

I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me and didn't give it much thought.

Later, I realized I was always losing things.

That's when I discovered there was something strange about the mirror.

It was actually connected to the ancient world a thousand years ago.

Thanks to the mirror, I accidentally helped people in the past survive a devastating drought.

One of them saw what I could do and wanted to work with me.

He sent me porcelain bowls for free, so I could save up money and open a shop.

That made it easy for me to buy goods and resell them to him. Using those goods, he went from being an illegitimate son cast out by the Qian family, imperial merchants, to becoming the richest man in the ancient world.

Thanks to him, I could become a billionaire in an instant with a single antique or jade piece.

Once I got rich, distant relatives I'd barely ever met all came crawling out of the woodwork to claim kinship. The blind fool who'd looked down on me came groveling back.

Even the arrogant, all-powerful CEO drove up in a luxury car with a whole carload of roses to make a grand confession of love.

But I was so captivated by the man who stepped out of the mirror that I lost control for a moment and had my way with him.

Then the ancient man crossed through time with a lavish bridal procession stretching ten miles, showed up at my house, and demanded I take responsibility.
