Xiao Mu transmigrated to the Great Rong Dynasty fifteen years ago and became a living God of Wealth, rich enough to rival a nation.
After the late emperor died, Xiao Mu lost his protector, and countless factions began eyeing his wealth. To preserve his family fortune, he offered his services to the court as a merchant, seeking the empress's protection.
But the empress rejected his request for office to his face. In private, however, she wanted Xiao Mu to become her male consort, putting him at odds with the court officials so he would serve only her. Worse still, she demanded that he hand over his entire fortune.
She wanted both his wealth and his body without giving him any status. How could such a brazen attempt to take everything for nothing not chill his heart?
So Xiao Mu publicly declared his rebellion!!!
The empress was furious. “I even offered myself to him. Why is Xiao Mu still rebelling?”
Xiao Mu replied, “Relying on someone else will never beat becoming the one everyone relies on!”
