Alternate Ancient Setting * Career-Focused Main Plot * 1v1 * Two Strong Leads Working Together
Transmigrating into the body of a marquis's illegitimate daughter, Shen Qinglan opened her eyes to find herself being sent to an old prince as a concubine. She tore up the script.
A set of fraudulent accounts brought down her stepmother, and one hotpot dinner shook the capital. While all the noblewomen were still fighting for favor, she already held the property deeds and had become the proprietress of Jinghua Tower.
Her rivals tried to crush her? She countered with a DIY dipping-sauce bar and a membership system, defeating them with a whole new level of strategy. The Yongchang Earl's residence colluded with officials to audit her books? She brought out ledger after ledger, and her figures left the officials speechless. Even the Empress Dowager specifically ordered her mandarin duck hotpot for the birthday banquet at the palace.
All of Shengjing was saying she had used her looks to attach herself to the battle-scarred Prince Jing.
But Prince Jing whispered in her ear, "What I want is a partner who can plan to rule the world alongside me."
When her family once again tried to offer her up as a pawn, she produced the charter for the Royal Bank, already drawn up and ready to go, and smiled brilliantly. "Your Highness, this time, I'll be the one calling the shots."
From a discarded pawn in the inner household to a partner in the empire, her rules are the rules.
