Synopsis

Not a chaste heroine, slow burn, a touch of an ensemble cast, a light and satisfying read

A slight lift of the wineglass, and no one can match her wealth.

Her heart belongs to the red-clad guest beneath the flowers, her hand to the horseman roaming the grasslands, and one cast of her fishing rod reels in the ultimate catch.

Xiao Baiyang transmigrates into a script and becomes the "wicked woman Bai Xiu."

But the original owner was fated to die young.

So she makes survival her priority and wealth her secondary goal. If she can climb higher, she won't settle for less; if she can make it big, she'll find a way.

From the daughter of a condemned official to the Empress Dowager, she turns the villainess role into that of the heroine.

No, she has an even better time than the heroine!

Her reputation for wickedness remains, but she lives to a hundred.

I've Been Into Palace Intrigue Lately 😍 Hand Over Your Top Palace Intrigue Picks!

Looking for books like "The Empress's Consort Is Cunning, and the Emperor Can't Resist Her". The leads don't have to be each other's firsts!!! They don't have to be each other's firsts!!! But the female lead must be clear-headed and strong, not weak. Some angst is fine. I like stories set in fictionalized historical worlds, as long as the plot is well-crafted and detailed, hehe.

I want books similar to Why Hasn't the Noble Consort Died Yet? Ideally, it should have the prose style of a historical romance, and the plot and characters must be good. Preferably no golden finger. Thanks to every sweetheart who rescues me from my reading slump~
