The Chancellor’s Daughter: Enough with Romance, My Father Is Usurping the Throne
Qi Qianyu, a modern business tycoon, is ambushed on a rainy night after closing a deal worth billions. When she opens her eyes, she has become the lovesick legitimate daughter in a historical romance novel. In her original life, she was infatuated with a scumbag heir, manipulated by her scheming cousin, and ultimately brought the entire Qi family to ruin. She herself died miserably in a mountain ravine.
Awakened to the truth, Qi Qianyu looks at her peerless beauty in the mirror and tears up the lovesick heroine’s script with a cold laugh. “You scumbags want to stir up trouble? I’ll make you pay!” She rips away her cousin’s innocent-girl mask and kicks the hypocritical heir to the curb. Using her modern business savvy, she opens snack shops and expands into trade. From a small shop in the capital to an international empire, she makes a fortune and becomes the “Goddess of Wealth” everyone envies.
Behind her stands a family of “immortals”: her father, Chancellor Qi Yuan, a doting dad who holds power over the court and would flatten enemy camps for her; her second brother, a protective Imperial Guard commander who shields her amid flashing blades; her third brother, a sweet-faced master of medicine and poison who keeps poison needles and prescriptions at the ready for her; and her fifth brother, the top scholar and a smiling schemer who clears obstacles for her with brush and ink.
In the palace intrigues, she produces evidence to expose Consort Li’s fake-pregnancy scheme. In the struggle for imperial power, she joins forces with court officials to depose the incompetent emperor and install her eldest sister as the first empress of the Qingluan Kingdom. The five outstanding members of the Qi family come to dominate the realm.
By then, the wickedly handsome Regent Xuan Ye of the Cangqiong Kingdom has come calling. He opens up trade routes for her and takes an arrow meant for her, finally winning her heart. In the end, Qi Qianyu and Xuan Ye monopolize trade between the two kingdoms, protect their family and their realm, raise a son and a daughter, and live happily ever after.
