[Historical household intrigue + revenge and punishing scumbags + chasing his wife but failing to win her back]
A fabulously wealthy woman building her career versus a stunningly handsome, wickedly charming man. One-on-one romance.
Yun Qinghe was born into a merchant family, but married into a marquis’s household as its principal wife.
She thought her fortunes would soar, but the marquis’s family turned against her as soon as they got their hands on her dowry.
They not only killed Yun Qinghe, but also cursed her soul to keep her from moving on to the next life.
When she was reborn, the marquis’s household had already filled its coffers with her dowry. The scumbag husband was smugly determined to trample her underfoot.
Using her mountain of wealth to secure powerful backing, Yun Qinghe turned around and donated her dowry inventory to the imperial court, earning herself the title of County Princess.
The scumbag was kicked out, and everyone in the marquis’s household was stunned. Unable to pay back the dowry, the family was confiscated and exiled in its entirety.
The Yun family’s business flourished, and earning another dowry would be no trouble.
Yun Qinghe indulged in fine food, fine wine, and handsome young men, counting money until her hands cramped.
Suddenly, a man barged in and grabbed her hand.
“Isn’t having me enough? Tell them to leave.”
When had the powerful Ninth Eunuch, who held sway over the court, become her dog?
I saw the latest one, and it's different from the introduction. It says that the prince's house was confiscated and exiled because he couldn't collect the dowry, but the main text is just that, and it's a little less satisfying.
The story is exciting and interesting, quite good, but it's a pity that it's not finished.
