If the Money Box Doesn’t Move, Neither Do I

[A noblewoman reborn twice and switching marriages + a transmigrated woman who isn’t one-dimensional + daily life as the mistress of a duke’s household + household and palace intrigue + fictional setting + mutually devoted couple]

A sweet-faced, sharp-witted mistress versus a little persimmon trained to be both sweet and salty

In her previous life, Xue Baochang married beneath her station to the emperor’s illegitimate son, born to a concubine from a branch of a marquis’s household. In the end, she worked her way up to become a virtuous empress.

Her younger sister, Xue Baozhu, took her place in the Duke’s household. She became the glamorous wife of the heir, but the heir she loved already had someone in his heart. No matter how many rounds of hair-pulling fights she had with his beloved, she couldn’t win. Instead, she drove the two of them into each other’s arms, and the position of heir went to someone else.

The day she saw Xue Baochang ascend to the throne as empress, she was so furious that she died of rage.

Xue Baochang earned a reputation for virtue and spent half her life working diligently, only to die of exhaustion.

The sisters were reborn one after the other. This time, Xue Baozhu “bought” the husband Xue Baochang had married in her previous life.

Xue Baochang just chuckled.

In this life, she only wanted to hug her money chest and be a happy miser!

(The heroine’s remarriage has a twist foreshadowed in the story. She isn’t a self-sacrificing drudge, so please be patient.)

If she could help an emperor rise to power in her previous life, couldn’t she train a spoiled young heir?

And then the spoiled heir changed.

He even handed his young wife the keys to the treasury, filled with imperial rewards!

He’d wash her underwear with a straight face, and he’d never divorce her, either!

Even if the emperor offered him eight concubines, he wouldn’t trade her for them!

“Then what about a ninth?”

“The ninth is giving Madam a massage! Don’t ask!”

P.S. This book may not be perfect, but the author puts a lot of care into every word.

If it’s not to your taste, you can close it. Reading novels is supposed to be fun.

Let’s be kind to each other.
