After I Became a Tycoon, the Deposed Crown Prince Tricked Me into a Palace Coup

Original title: Jade Adorned with Mossy Branches

She is the county magistrate's eldest legitimate daughter. Her mother comes from a family of imperial merchants, and her grandfather is a celebrated general who guards the frontier.

Kindhearted and modest, she always follows the rules, yet she cannot escape the vicious schemes of her father's concubine. After six years of widowhood, the lavish dowry she brought to her marriage has been whittled away until not a penny remains, and she is finally driven from her husband's family. Then an edict from the deposed crown prince forces her to flee with the refugees. With no money, her mother dies of illness on the road, and she herself starves to death...

After dying, her soul spends three years exploring the modern world. Then she returns, memories intact, reborn into the Feng family.

She foists her troublesome in-laws onto her half-sister; makes plans in advance to move her money out of reach; drives a wedge between her father and his concubine...

A refugee she saves by chance is poisoned with a toxin that has no antidote, yet he stays by her side for months, claiming he wants to repay her kindness.

He is a man of noble bearing, with a pair of irresistibly captivating eyes, but the poison has covered half his face in blue-green blotches and robbed him of his voice.

He risks his life for her, uncovers crucial evidence against a concubine in the Feng household, and helps her avenge her younger brother, who was wrongfully killed years ago and whose death went unknown.

What moves the heart in this world is often a brief moment of warmth and sweetness. He has long since fallen deeply in love with her, but knowing he has little time left, he dares not dream of a future with her.

He watches her act with ruthless decisiveness, sees her playful and carefree side, her patience and composure, and her unconventional ways.

Step by step, she stirs up the capital's political scene, amasses wealth from every corner of the realm, and becomes the owner of Wutong Residence, the richest establishment under heaven.

When Xiao Huang regains his handsome looks and can flirt again, he panics.

"Miss Jin, I can never repay you for saving my life. How about I give myself to you?"

"If there's anything in the Great Liang Empire you have your eye on, just go ahead and take it. My empress must never back down!"
