[Question: Has Young Lord Gu saved up enough for his dowry today?]
In her previous life, Shen Tiaotiao was orphaned and brought her vast fortune to live with her maternal uncle’s family, the household of the prime minister. But her scheming cousin Liu Yurou and her seemingly benevolent aunt tricked her out of every last coin. Even the Third Prince, who had once been willing to give up his future for her, turned his back on her after ascending the throne. He let her die of illness in the Eastern Palace. Before she died, Liu Yurou, heavily pregnant, told Shen Tiaotiao, “To thank you for your generosity, I’ll ask His Majesty to posthumously name you empress after you die.”
Reborn, she returned to the day she first entered the prime minister’s household. Her scheming cousin wanted to steal her fortune again? Ha! Shen Tiaotiao would make her fall from the clouds into the mire, where she’d beg for death and be denied it. The Third Prince wanted to deceive her into giving him her heart again? He wanted the throne? Forget it! Shen Tiaotiao would arrange for him to marry two shrews, turning his household into a battlefield so he could enjoy his emperor’s power at home every day. He’d never even know what killed him.
She would take her revenge and humiliate her enemies at every turn. Not only would she protect her family fortune without fail, she would make everyone who had ever bullied her pay in blood!
As for Young Lord Gu, who kept coming after her? Sorry, Shen Tiaotiao only cared about making money and getting revenge. What could be better than making her enemies suffer? But who was Young Lord Gu, anyway? His skin was thicker than a city wall. “Tiaotiao, I can marry into your family. My father did the same, and it’s a proud tradition in our family. You focus on crushing your enemies, and I’ll manage your estate. I’ll take half the profits and save them for my dowry.”
