After transmigrating into Shen Qingli, the general's daughter who was driven to her death by her arrogant fiancé, she tears up the tragic heroine's script and calls off the engagement on the spot: “What do men matter? This young lady is going to build a career!”
While the entire capital waits to laugh at her and see her beg for mercy, “Floating Life Pavilion,” the pleasure house she opens, becomes the city’s hottest playground for the powerful, its halls alive with music and revelry every night.
“Golden Terrace,” the gambling house she founds, rakes in gold day after day and transforms the gambling scene.
“City of Evernight,” the district she builds, sets the trends and sweeps across the capital.
Her former fiancé, who once treated her like trash, is consumed with regret. But she is already drinking with the Chief Eunuch of the Eastern Depot, calling the young prince her sworn brother, and has become the only opponent in the eyes of Xiao Zhi, the Prince Regent, capable of matching him in a battle of wits.
When turmoil erupts at court and hidden attacks come from the shadows, everyone believes this woman is about to fall. Instead, she joins forces with the all-powerful Prince Regent and turns the entire realm into their biggest gambling table.
Shen Qingli smiles, radiant and audacious. “You used to say I wasn’t worthy of the heir. Well, now, ”
The man beside her takes her hand and faces the realm, his voice cold as ice. “I am the one who is unworthy of her.”
It's great! The storyline is well-written, and I love the female lead's wisdom and assertiveness. It's worth watching, and the ending is good too. Recommended.
