After being married off, she was favored by the powerful official

When Xie Ran came down wrapped in clothes, he saw Gu Jin wiping his nosebleed with a handkerchief. With Xie Ran's life experience and good manners, he had never thought of the possibility of a woman peeping at a man bathing, so he asked in surprise, "What's wrong with you?"

Gu Jin felt uneasy and didn't dare to look up at Xie Ran's eyes. He took the initiative and said, "I was roasted by the fire to detoxify you. I got a sore throat..."

Xie Ran didn't doubt it. He just glanced at the stove pit and his face darkened. "Did you add all the firewood in?"

Only then did Gu Jin notice that she had been concentrating on reading the storybook. Whenever she saw someone getting angry, she would add firewood one by one. The originally thick pile of firewood was now reduced to very little.

If Xie Ran hadn't run away on her own, a horrific case of murder of a husband would have occurred in the capital tomorrow.

Xie Ran's gaze left Gu Jin nowhere to hide. Gu Jin raised her eyes and showed her signature innocent expression again, "I didn't mean to do that. It's all because the book is too ugly."

Xie Ran glanced at her and took the book from her hand. "It's ugly but you're still reading it so intently. If it was good, I'm afraid I would be in trouble today, right?"

Xie Ran flipped through a few pages casually, "You don't like reading it? This book is very popular among the female relatives in Beijing recently."

Gu Jin looked Xie Ran up and down, revealing an indescribable expression, "You wouldn't watch this kind of thing, would you?"

Xie Ran was of course not interested in this kind of love book, "I have a study, and this book has been in short supply recently."

"Is there still a shortage of supply even with this? If it were in modern times..."

As Gu Jin was talking, her eyes suddenly lit up. Before she could speak, Xie Ran, who had seen through her for a long time, said, "Madam, have you discovered a new business opportunity?"

"My husband is wise." Gu Jin smiled brightly, her face as beautiful as a flower.

She decided to save the worldview of this era and give a wake-up call to those poor scholars who only knew how to fantasize!

"You can also write storybooks?" Xie Ran expressed doubt after hearing Gu Jin's ambition.

"Then don't worry about it, just tell me if you're willing to help me sell it!"

Gu Jin felt that this was a very promising business opportunity. After all, there were no entertainment facilities in ancient times. Men could go to brothels to relax, but women in the boudoir could only read books to pass the time.

When the script becomes popular, she can sell the copyright and find a troupe to perform it, and she can also sell peripheral products to make money. It is simply a complete industrial chain.

Seeing that Xie Ran still didn't believe it, Gu Jin pulled him to sit behind the desk and placed a pen and paper in front of him.

"Madam, this is..."

"I'll dictate and you'll write."

Without waiting for Xie Ran to refuse, Gu Jin spoke up, "We want to make our first book famous, so we should write an inspirational and cool novel with a male protagonist that is suitable for a wide range of readers and both men and women. Let's call it... Fights Break Sphere."

At first, Xie Ran thought that Gu Jin was just fooling around. After all, judging from her past behavior, he might say that she was smart, but to say that she was talented in writing and well-read, he really didn't see that at all.

But as the plot slowly unfolded, Xie Ran's expression became more focused. The only sounds in the room could be heard: Gu Jin's clear and pleasant voice of reading, like the rippling of a stream, and the rustling sound of the pen tip hitting the white paper.

After writing three chapters, Xie Ran put down the paper and pen.

Gu Jin picked up the manuscript with excitement, and saw that the ink characters on the paper were strong and sharp. Although Xie Ran wrote quickly, his strokes were still neat and smooth.

"Your handwriting is really beautiful." Gu Jin looked at it with admiration. This is what they say: a person's handwriting reflects his character.

Xie Ran stared at Gu Jin intently, his eyes full of deep meaning, "Did you come up with this story?"

"I guess so!" Although she didn't create the original work, she has a photographic memory!

"What do you think of this story? Does it have the potential to go viral?"

Xie Ran had never read such an article. Although the setting in it made him feel incredible, it was indeed fascinating. "It should be possible. How long will it take you to finish this story?"

"What are you going to do after you finish writing? Send out these three chapters tomorrow!"

"Only three chapters? Isn't that too short?"

Gu Jin waved his hands, "This is called serialization, don't you understand?

Think about it, once a book is finished its price will certainly not be cheap, and at this time many people will be reluctant to buy it, and will either borrow books from others or engage in rampant piracy.

But if we only sell a chapter for one cent, they will have no pressure to buy it, and will be anxious for the subsequent plots, and will rush to the study to buy it as soon as a new chapter is released."

"But even if you only sell it for a penny, they can still pass it around." Xie Ran questioned.

Gu Jin shook his finger and smiled slyly, "We can hold a binding event for every 100 chapters. The study will not only help them seal the book with exquisite covers, but also hold a lottery on the spot.

The winners will not only have the money they used to buy the book refunded, but will also be able to get all the subsequent chapters for free as soon as possible, and will also receive exquisite gifts related to the characters in the book.

I think most people will buy the book just to win the award, and some people may even buy more than one copy.”

After all, she was deeply tempted by blind boxes in order to get the hidden models. Putting herself in their shoes, she didn't believe that these people could withstand the temptation.

Gu Jin kept talking, her head full of clever ideas of taking money out of other people's pockets. Xie Ran almost wanted to applaud her.

“How many chapters are you going to write?”

Gu Jin estimated, "About two thousand chapters."

A book like this costs two taels of silver to read, and if a thousand people read it, that would be two thousand taels, not counting the derivative industries.

Gu Jin's eyes were bright, just like the dazzling stars in the night sky.

Humans are the most deceptive animals, but it is impossible to fake the joy that comes from the heart, just like Gu Jin at this moment.

Xie Ran watched her talk about her plans, and a smile unconsciously appeared in his eyes.

Maybe she really just likes to make money!

"Madam is good at business. I will have to rely on you more in the future." When Xie Ran said this, there was a gentleness in his eyes that he had not noticed.

"It's easy to talk about."

Gu Jin smiled widely, and the clear waves in her peach blossom eyes were very charming.

When she looked at people, her eyes were extremely focused, as if she wanted to see into the other person's heart through their eyes. She raised her hand to lift the strands of hair that had fallen by her ears, and then she opened her cherry lips and called out softly, "Husband."

It was like a feather brushing across the lake and gently plucking a string in the heart.

Gu Jin raised her eyes, her eyes were charming, but the words she said ruined the mood, "Husband, next... let's talk about the division of the profits."

Xie Ran's eyes darkened, and the warm spring breeze in his eyes instantly turned into frost and snow.

Looking at Gu Jin's earnest smile, Xie Ran opened his thin lips and uttered two words coldly, "Fifty percent."
