Tang Wanyue was the most beautiful woman in the capital. Though born to a merchant family, she was as lovely as a flower, with a soft body and a sweet voice. One sentence from her could make the bones of every talented young man in the capital turn to mush. For more than a decade, Tang Wanyue's life had gone smoothly, until one day she dreamed that she wasn't her parents' child at all. Her "parents" only coveted the family fortune in her hands, and would eventually hand her over to the lecherous, vicious Master Liu in the eastern part of the city. In the depths of winter, she would die miserably, curled up in a drafty temple to the City God. The man she loved would become the Crown Prince, second only to the emperor, and leave with another woman in his arms without sparing her a single glance.
After waking from the nightmare, she had six months until her coming-of-age ceremony. Her three-faced family was still fawning over her in public while secretly gritting their teeth. Facing the desperate fate awaiting her, the once delicate beauty, who couldn't even lift a finger, gritted her teeth and resolutely tossed aside her hairpins and silk skirts to pick up the abacus and account books. The only money she could rely on was her own!
One day, Mu Siqing passed by Tang Wanyue's Brocade Boutique. The spoiled young lady who once had nothing but her beauty had become the richest shopkeeper in the capital. Leaning against the windowsill, her jade-white wrists exposed, she gazed across the capital's splendid bustle with her beautiful eyes. As lovely as a peony in Luoyang, she no longer looked at him with the infatuation and adoration she once had. The pain of being rejected by her again and again suddenly came rushing back.
What the hell. That's gone
Ending inexplicably
Is this the end? It's a scam!
