Yu Tang transmigrates into the role of the sacrificial bride in a tragic romance.
In the original story, the original Yu Tang is poisoned to death by her wicked cousin, while the male lead, a deranged regent, never so much as looks at her.
Yu Tang glances at the plot, then quietly takes out her phone. The System is bound, a QR code has been generated, and her golden finger has arrived.
Her cousin poisons someone? Take a photo as evidence and report her for a reward.
Her cousin pretends to faint? Appraise the scene and charge admission.
Her cousin hires a master detective to investigate her? The detective gets recruited on the spot and becomes her errand boy.
Her cousin seeks the Empress Dowager’s help to kill her? Report them both, bring down the Empress Dowager, and send her cousin to prison.
The regent comes to question her with a cold expression? Scan first, pay afterward: three gold ingots per question.
The deposed empress from the Cold Palace comes to reconnect? Scan to send two million, and her annual membership gets her a fast pass to number 28.
The original male lead comes to test her? She argues him into questioning his entire life, and he eventually agrees to become her ally.
The ungrateful Marquis’s household comes looking for trouble? The regent immediately backs her up: “You dare lay a hand on someone who belongs to me?”
Later, the powerful ministers, the Crown Prince, and the princes of the capital all line up outside her courtyard.
The regent gets pushed from number 100 to number 83. Expressionless, he says, “I’ll wait. It’s only three years.”
The capital’s top detective squats by the door. “Can I pay in installments? I’ve been saving my salary for eight years.”
The deposed empress in the Cold Palace sends Eunuch Liu over every day to ask, “What would you like to eat today? Have the regent make it.”
Yu Tang lies in bed counting her money and sighs:
“They’re all so competitive. I’m exhausted. But the money… sure is sweet.”
Three years later, the regent finally reaches number one.
He pushes open the door and looks at her. “It’s my turn.”
Yu Tang pulls a QR code out from beneath her pillow. “Scan or cash?”
