I Made a Hundred Thousand Taels the Day I Broke Off the Engagement

“The whole world is betting I’ll fall in love with him. I just want to make money.”

In her previous life, the heroine was the legitimate daughter of a powerful family. She gave up her status for love, only for her husband to climb the ladder on her back, keep a mistress, and join forces with his family to seize her dowry.

But this time, she did something that changed her fate:

She broke off the engagement on the spot.

And the man she rejected was the future Grand Chancellor, whose power would extend across the imperial court.
