A Ruthless Capitalist Transmigrated as a Profligate: Counterattack to Become the Empress's Blade

share time: 2026-03-03 00:34:04

After finalizing a billion-yuan merger deal, ruthless capitalist Lin Chuan collapsed in his office—only to wake up as Xie Mingyuan, the most despised profligate in the Great Chu Dynasty. His father was a Vice Minister of Revenue, but he spent every day in brothels, owed gambling debts, and even three-year-olds dared to throw stones at him. However, when grain merchants colluded with officials to hoard grain and raise prices, on the verge of a civil uprising, he used modern "price war + reporting" tactics to take down the grain merchants' warehouses. When the Northern Di tribe invaded and demanded a million taels of tribute, he tricked them into snatching fake grain coupons, leaving their army starving and retreating. Even when the Empress was troubled by imperial relatives meddling in politics, he split their power like "corporate restructuring". From a worthless waste everyone hated to the sharpest blade in the Empress's hand, Lin Chuan kept using ruthless schemes to turn the tide, while complaining, "Ancient conspiracies are less exciting than my old merger deals." But when the Empress blushed and handed him a love knot one day, he panicked—this blade seems to be turning into a "pillow blade"!
