(A little political intrigue, reborn, sweet romance, a scheming prince, a beautiful and capable legitimate daughter of a noble family, a leisurely life watching the drama unfold, and a transmigrated woman taking down scumbags)
In her previous life, Jiang Qianjin, the legitimate daughter of the Jiang family, received an imperial betrothal decree on her coming-of-age birthday and became the crown princess everyone envied.
She exhausted herself supporting the crown prince and managing the imperial harem, counting on him to ascend the throne soon so she could naturally take her place as empress.
She never knew that her half-sister would swoop in and steal everything. On the eve of the crown prince's enthronement, her sister killed her without mercy and took her place.
She could only laugh bitterly at how she had toiled for half her life, only to prepare the way for someone else.
Reborn, she is framed and accused of losing her virtue. Will she lose her chance to become crown princess? Will she be forced to settle for the inferior position of a prince's consort?
She had long since cast that worthless crown princess title aside.
Instead, she married into Prince Chen's household, where she could spend her whole life as a subject.
The moment she entered the household, she became its mistress, and her life took off, with everything going smoothly.
Even her prayer to the Bodhisattva that the crown princess, her half-sister, would suffer a little more was answered.
All she had to do was sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.
The crown prince also gained a remarkable woman through a twist of fate. She could not only do business but also make salt and soap.
The lowly merchant woman steadily rose in status within the Eastern Palace.
Shen Zhitong was ordered to lead an expedition and quell the rebellion. When they met again, even the court had become his to command.
“Jin'er, at last we can live together without restraint. You have to make up for all the times you owed me over the past few years. I'll punish you by making you have a whole basketful of children.”
Jiang Qianjin's jade-like face flushed red. “Your Majesty, we can't do this here...”
Shen Zhitong bit her as if in punishment. “Call me husband. I'll do whatever you say.”
