This book tells the fictional story of Lin Ming (pseudonym), a once-wealthy Chinese businessman, who rose from a comprador at Sassoon & Co. to a Shanghai tycoon, then to a major figure on the American West Coast, ultimately building a financial magnate in the United States. Set from the mid-19th century, it offers a unique perspective on the historical figures and events of Qing China, Britain, and the United States. Through this narrative, it gradually unveils the underlying business logic of modern Chinese history, including overseas trade, Sassoon & Co., Morgan Bank, Standard Oil, the Rothschild family bank, oil trusts, and steel trusts.
[Strong female lead with a focus on her career + no romantic partner in the early stages + a romantic storyline later on]
An unexpected event led Lin Shuyao, who had been enduring the hardships of being a corporate slave, to open her eyes in the nursery of the Howard Estate, a top-tier luxury estate in New York.
He became the 27th child of Raymond Howard, the head of the family.
Her mother was a Chinese-American lover who, while she was still in the womb, had already agreed on a price—one million US dollars—to sever their blood ties and elope.
The father is a wealthy man in his fifties with many children. His fatherly love is like a chip on a finely balanced scale, paid only to the final winner.
The manor is like a gladiatorial arena, where 26 half-siblings are competitors. Warmth is a luxury, and siblings are potential rivals. Resources and affection must be seized amidst invisible swords and shadows.
She started with nothing.
On the day of the full moon, there were no blessings, only the butler's cold handover and the nanny's proper care.
The mother absconded with the money and disappeared without a trace; the father lived high in the main house, out of reach of anyone.
Even as an infant, she understood that the Howard family had no fairy tales, only the laws of survival and conquest.
But no one knew that inside this small body was a soul from the future, a soul that had endured countless trials.
She once crawled on the dust, and now she has descended to the clouds—also on the edge of a cliff.
Watching his siblings scheme and plot against each other in the power struggles of the wealthy family; watching his father coldly observe as he selects the strongest bloodline.
Reborn in 2008, the company was on the verge of bankruptcy, and the team was falling apart. But this time, I would change the course of the world! Starting with a groundbreaking mobile game, we swept the globe, accumulating initial capital and users. While the giants were still mocking us for "not focusing on our core business," I pulled out my self-developed mobile operating system and overturned the entire industry table. Smartphones were merely the carriers; electric cars roamed the globe; artificial intelligence quietly awakened… We used games to carry out a technological revolution. When reporters pressed, "What exactly does your company do?" I looked at the technological landscape spanning the virtual and real worlds behind me and smiled calmly: "Us? Just an ordinary game company."
What kind of future is there in living off a woman? A man should be self-reliant!
What? He's the Queen of the Women's Kingdom's kept man?
Um... the doctor said I have a bad stomach and should eat more soft food!
Reborn in 1976 as a worker-peasant-soldier college student, Jiang Hui felt completely bewildered. He had fantasized countless times about being reborn, but not back to more than forty years ago!
However, what if he discovers that his teacher's daughter is actually the Queen of Women?
That's alright then. Since we're here, let's make the best of it!
In my past life, I was a senior automotive engineer. Making a name for myself shouldn't be that difficult, right?
P.S. This is a business-related article; everything else is just embellishment!
"Brother, why do they all call you Engineer Zhou?"
"Because I'm an engineer."
"Hey bro, why do some people still call you Commander Zhou?"
"Because I am the deputy commander-in-chief of the project construction headquarters."
"And brother, why..."
"What are you asking, you know-it-all? Come drink with me, or I'll throw you into the Han River."
This is a HY novel with a single female protagonist. It's a new work by a new author, so please don't read if you don't like this kind of thing.

[There was a pairing—I wrote all the pairings out of the story]
Sheng Yu died and came back to life, returning to the world that was rightfully hers.
Here, she has a group of younger siblings, namely—
The real and fake heiresses, the real heiress being the second sister;
Ga Shen Literature's Substitute Fourth Sister;
The third brother of the male protagonist in Ga Shen Literature;
The fifth brother, a literary prodigy who ran away with a baby;
F4 Literature: Poor Female Protagonist
Sheng Yu thought to herself, with such an amazing family, shouldn't she, as their eldest sister, be even more amazing!
Then she discovered that she was their eldest sister, who was born mentally challenged and died young...
Damn! So I'm the only cannon fodder here!

Sheng Yu discovered that this was a rather different world. This world was technologically advanced, but at the same time, their entertainment was extremely backward.
Food is lagging behind, comics are lagging behind, novels are lagging behind, TV series are lagging behind, music is lagging behind...
The prevailing saying about prioritizing entertainment: [unclear - possibly a typo or a typo]
What could she do? Since the food was lagging behind, she would become the first person to create it!
Shocking! Nobody eats the eggs here! They're even being looked down upon!?
Before eating: "It comes from a chicken's butt, it's filthy, even a dog wouldn't eat it!"
After eating it, the customer exclaimed, "Even dogs won't eat it, but I will! Boss, please give me more tomorrow! I can't get enough, I really can't get enough!"
Since novels and comics are outdated, Sheng Yu, who taught himself to draw in his previous life and made money by writing novels, said that he had no choice but to go back to his old ways!
A time-travel novel, directly breaking through the encirclement of a group of three princesses and three princes.
Before reading: "Time travel? What is time travel?"
After reading the book: "Sleep?! As long as my hands can still move, I'll get up and continue writing! I can't sleep until it's finished!!!"

Find the star players from your past life, form a team, and complete the tasks to receive corresponding rewards.
Facing Fly, with jungler Nuanyang, mid-laner Jiucheng, marksman Yinuo, and support Cat, and combined with their top-tier understanding of King of Glory from their past lives, the DHK team was unparalleled. However, they never imagined that some experiences from their past lives would subtly influence their present, just like…
"Look at this move, YiNuo is like two people in one, killing them all, then taking on another one, but this time he accidentally pushed Lu Bu right into his teammate's face..."
"Yinuo killed all his teammates in this wave!"

No female lead, no romantic pairing, no references or tropes. The author is just a newbie in a low-level game; any plot holes should be considered personal interpretations.
PS:
1. Both worlds begin in the 23rd World Championship.
2. All reworked heroes except Diao Chan will be based on the official server version.
3. The heroes haven't been nerfed much; the reworked ones are considered as if they were just reworked.
4. Except for the Swift Boots and Resistance Boots, the equipment is the same as in the official server.
5. Most teams in this other world lack diverse gameplay strategies, have outdated game understanding, and only know how to play marksman carries. A small number also play jungle carry and mage carry strategies.
6. There is turret protection, but no jungle damage reduction, and the map is not larger.

A strong reminder: This book depicts the gradual rise of a family. It is an ensemble piece, and the plot involves more than just the protagonist. It is a bit slow-paced, and the protagonist is not a genius who can dominate everything.
The most popular villainous heiress in the game is relegated to a mere starting village boss, defeated by the protagonist before she can even make a significant impact. Her exceptional talents are relegated to assisting the clueless protagonist, leaving her fans heartbroken and often jokingly remarking, "My favorite character is just a lowly female villain!" Fortunately, a lucky fan who adored her is transported to a world almost identical to the game and reborn as her. This time, she's determined not to be a lowly female villain; she's going to fulfill her unfulfilled ambition from the original game and turn everyone into mere cannon fodder beneath her feet! Cannon fodder❤~ Cannon fodder❤~ You're the real cannon fodder❤!
