Forced to Become a Concubine, I Became the Emperor's Favorite

After her biological father rose to power with help from her maternal family, he found himself a better connection by attaching himself to the daughter of a duke. Meanwhile, she had been cast out as a child. Now she was found and sent to become a concubine to Elder Chen, a grand secretary on his deathbed, to bring him good fortune. On her wedding night, she used a silver needle to put an arrogant servant in his place. But then a man just as imposing pinned her beneath him. What? He wanted her to work as his inside agent and help him investigate the traitors selling out the country!? As long as he paid enough and helped her escape this den of wolves, she’d take care of everything: fake silver notes, real traitors, all of it! But just as she was about to leave after completing their deal, he changed his mind!? “Crown Princess, have you forgotten something?” Xia Ying: Is he trying to get out of paying me? The next thing she knew, he was hurling box after box of gold, silver, and jewels in front of her. “I want you to be my Crown Princess! As for silver, you can have as much as you want!” Her eyes lit up. There really was such a good deal?
