The true power behind the Shen family, the wealthiest family in Jiangnan, willingly disguises herself as a sickly concubine-born daughter and enters the Prince of Zhenbei’s household as a concubine, all to expand the family business among the nobility.
Everyone says she is ill-fated and has no blessings, and won’t live through the winter.
When the secondary consort makes things difficult for her, she coughs delicately like a willow in the wind, and the prince’s expression turns cold.
When the princess consort schemes against her, she sheds a few fragile tears, and the entire inner court is thrown into turmoil.
Everyone in the prince’s household thinks she’s an easy target, until
A million taels of silver in the household accounts, most of it earned through her efforts;
The provisions and supplies for the border troops, all arranged by her;
Even the emperor at court has to show her some respect.
When her true identity is revealed, the whole court is in an uproar.
But the cold-faced prince pulls her into his arms and says hoarsely, “In this life, I shall have only one wife, and no concubines.”
Shen Qinghuan blinks, secretly amused. Who wants to be your wife? What I want is to be the God of Wealth of this entire realm!
