[Soul transmigration, sweet romance] Office drone Su Qianqian transmigrates and wants only to make money, enjoy her retirement, and keep handsome men… I mean, appreciate her freedom! But with a face capable of bringing a kingdom to ruin, she can’t even go out to buy vegetables without being “precisely targeted” by Xiao Jue, the regent of the dynasty.
Xiao Jue: “You’re a merchant’s daughter. It’s your honor to become my concubine.”
Su Qianqian, thinking to herself: Honor my foot! My journey leads to the stars and the sea, not your backyard!
To save her life, she hurriedly came up with a “dating trial period” agreement. “Your Highness, let’s date without getting married. We can kiss and cuddle, but there’ll be no official title, and we won’t interfere in each other’s lives. How does that sound?”
Xiao Jue raised an eyebrow. “Isn’t that just being my mistress?”
Su Qianqian, forcing a smile: “...If that’s what you say it is.”
She thought she’d be able to leave as soon as their “dating period” was over and go raise a few sweet, well-behaved young men. But a year later, when news arrived that the regent was getting married, she packed up and fled in the middle of the night, only to be caught red-handed.
Xiao Jue flew into a rage. “How dare you find another man behind my back!”
Su Qianqian replied with righteous indignation: “The agreement expired, so it ended automatically! Stop meddling in your ex-girlfriend’s private life!”
And so the all-powerful regent began a full-on campaign to win her back: he chased, she ran, and she couldn’t escape even if she grew wings.
Meanwhile, Su Qianqian quietly made a fortune in Jiangnan, all the while staring at the sky in exasperation. “Why won’t this client sign my resignation papers already?!”
