My Mother Became the Emperor's White Moonlight, and I Rule the Capital

[Completed!!! Sweet romance + devoted to one another + the leads grow up together + the heroine’s mother is married to another man, while her emperor father has long schemed to make her mother his own. After stealing his minister’s wife, he raises the heroine as a beloved princess in this satisfying story!]

Shen Qitang’s mother was once the most celebrated courtesan in Jiangnan. She spent all her savings supporting her father’s Marquis of Lecheng household, helping him rise to success.

But after inheriting his title, her father divorced her mother in a grand public gesture to boost his reputation and power, then married a princess of equal standing. He even sent the mother and daughter to his father-in-law, Prince Rui...

Her mother became Prince Rui’s concubine.

She became the heir’s servant, washing his feet.

Her mother took her own life on the spot to protect her honor, while the heir abused Shen Qitang and kept her chained by the door like a dog.

Later, while she was pregnant, her father had her beaten to death. She and her unborn child both perished.

After being reborn, her father said to Shen Qitang:

“Qitang, isn’t life as a legitimate daughter in the marquis’s household better than it was in Jiangnan?”

Holding her mother’s hand, Shen Qitang shook her head. “Marquis Shen, we have a thing about cleanliness and don’t like filth. My mother’s thoughts are as far away as you should go. Get lost!”

In this life, Shen Qitang would never let her mother compromise herself for this man again. She would help her mother divorce him!

After leaving the marquis’s household, all Shen Qitang wanted was to help her mother get revenge on the scumbag and become the richest woman in the capital.

But one day, the wolf cub she had been feeding every day brought the Imperial Guards to surround her home. He announced that she was his childhood betrothed.

Shen Qitang was stunned. Wasn’t the wolf cub’s betrothed supposed to be a princess?

Only later did she learn that her mother was the emperor’s beloved first love! In this life, she and her mother would stand at the pinnacle of power.

Let every one of those scumbags die!
