Synopsis

[A gutsy, money-loving, sharp-tongued heroine + a calculating, scheming crown prince + both leads are chaste + golden finger + everyday life + married first and fall in love later]

Jiang Chacha went to the new house to pack up. In the room, her best friend was moaning louder than a cat in heat, while the man cursed her for having no passion, just to trick her out of her house.

Jiang Chacha saw red. She didn't care if they fooled around with her feelings, but if they tried to steal her property, she would make them come to their senses. She boiled a huge pot of salt water and poured the whole thing over them.

Hmph! That'll disinfect them and clear their heads.

Their agonized squeals nearly shook the house apart, and both of them were scalded so badly their skin peeled off.

The man, however, charged at her through the pain and attacked her.

She turned to run, slipped, cracked her skull, and died.

When she woke again, her chest was tight with frustration and her body felt numb. In front of her stood a woman in ancient clothing, smugly declaring, “I'm the prince's true love. You're just a stepping stone.”

With her extensive experience reading novels, Chacha immediately realized she was the original wife's sacrificial pawn, and the story was probably already at its end.

She hadn't planned to bother with anything and was waiting quietly to die.

Then she found out the woman wanted her money, and there was a whole bridal procession's worth of dowry at stake.

After luring the woman over, Chacha abruptly pulled a hairpin from her head and stabbed her in the neck several times. They both died on the spot.

Awake yet again, she found herself facing a widow-like woman with a face like a vase, speaking as if bestowing a great favor: “With your status, marrying the crown prince is a blessing you couldn't earn in several lifetimes.”

Then she was shoved into a bridal sedan.

So the crown prince was a vegetable!

Perfect. The crown princess has high status, the man won't nag her, and everyone except the emperor and empress has to kneel before her. She could put up with that for now!

Looking for Novels with Clear-Headed, Independent Female Leads

I'd like to read books similar to Why Make Others Happy When You Can Make Yourself Happy? For example, Ruoxi from Scarlet Heart, Shangguan Qian from My Journey to You, or the female lead of Why Make Others Happy When You Can Make Yourself Happy? I'm not looking for a story that's purely about a career, nor one that's purely romance.

I’m In a Serious Reading Slump, Please Recommend Good Books That Fit My Criteria 🙏 👇

Up to four books: no forced macho femininity, no everyone-loves-the-protagonist setups, no stupidity, and no nonsensical romance (romance is optional). No rebirth or transmigration, preferably no fake heiresses and real heiresses either. Also, the main characters should speak up. Thanks, everyone.
