Jintang of the Marquis's Estate: My Powerful Husband Dotes on Me

[Family exile and confiscation + business success + ensemble family cast + political intrigue and sweet romance]

Overnight, the Marquis of Dingbei’s household fell from the clouds into the mud.

The men were exiled three thousand li, and all the women of the household were thrown out onto the streets.

Shen Jintang, once the most celebrated young lady in the capital, soon found herself selling embroidered handkerchiefs at a stall on Zhuque Avenue.

Her distant relatives mocked her: “A pampered young lady from a marquis’s household? She can’t even earn five coins. She’ll starve to death in the streets before long!”

Shen Jintang smiled calmly and pulled out her account book.

She sold rouge, opened a tavern, and established sea trade...

With the old, the young, and everyone in between by her side, she carved out a path to survival in the slums and restored her family’s glory!

A little scene:

One day, Xie Wei, the stern and incorruptible Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, came calling.

Looking at the room full of abacuses and ledgers, he raised an eyebrow. “Miss Shen, I’m here to investigate a case, not audit your books.”

Shen Jintang offered him a cup of tea, her eyes crinkling with a smile. “Lord Xie, investigating a case costs money, but auditing the books could cost you your life. Which will it be?”

Xie Wei: “...I choose you.”
