A money-minded, poker-faced transmigrated woman with a PhD in statistics, and a ruthless, patient clan war god whose family tried to take everything from him
A powerful couple + transmigration + historical romance + household intrigue + political scheming + business + both devoted to each other
Marriage first, love later; intense push and pull; evenly matched rivals; a marriage between two powerhouses
Li Qiuyun, a PhD in statistics who had just returned from overseas, was on the verge of becoming an associate professor. Then, in an instant, she transmigrated into the body of a neglected concubine-born daughter in an official's household.
From the start, it was hell: her father didn't care for her, her mother didn't love her, the women of the household schemed against her, and her childhood sweetheart married someone else.
Then her scumbag father stuffed her into a bridal sedan as a gift for a playboy who preferred men, making her his beard wife!
She immediately pulled off a bold move and volunteered to marry Zhao Jinglin, an overlooked member of the imperial clan who was rumored to bring death to his wives, had two children, was impotent, and was away from home most of the year.
All of Yuzhou laughed at her: Had this woman gone mad from wanting to be a widow?
She couldn't have been happier with the match. She'd have money and free time, no need to have children, and a husband who never came home.
She thought she had married an ignored pawn she could manipulate at will, and planned to make money, get rich, and stay happily single for the rest of her life.
But who could have guessed that from her very first move, he had already seen the whole board?
From household battles to the imperial throne, she planned every step, while he set traps at every turn.
From farm ledgers to the treasury and military supplies, she used her statistical expertise to balance the books and manage the treasury, bringing an overlooked member of the imperial clan to the table of power.
“My wife manages my children and my court, and turns the world upside down for me...”
His breath was hot as he leaned close to her ear and whispered,
“Isn't it my turn... to repay your kindness?”
At last, she panicked. “Wait... I thought you couldn't do it! This is nothing like the rumors!”
“Am I part of your play, too?!”
The early story follows farming, business, leveling up, family squabbles, and the steady rhythms of daily life, with a heroine who grows over time.
Very nice! The heroine is an absolute career starter. She only loves money and power. She wants to make money and investigate cases. I met a male protagonist with the same ambition. The plot lines are also very well written! Every chess piece fights for its own interests in the situation! Family interests ➕ Imperial power struggle ➕ The forces of the previous dynasty. After marriage, men's love complements each other and makes each other successful
