Move Aside, Imperial Uncle! This Princess Is Collecting Rent on the Public Dime

Jiang Ruanruan's rank in the family is so high that even the emperor has to call her “Little Ancestor.” **Tears down the royal altar to build a bathhouse from the start:** “Don't ask. It's all about cleansing the soul and building a civilized Great Sheng together!” **[Ding! Bound to the God-Tier Reimbursement System: Spend 100,000 taels from the national treasury and get 200,000 taels back in your personal vault!]** From then on, Jiang Ruanruan embarks on a wildly extravagant spree with public funds. When the emperor wants to renovate his gardens, she builds a dance club instead. When the Noble Consort wants jewelry, she buys up every gold mine in the capital! The ministers wail: Your Majesty, Little Ancestor is wrecking the treasury again! The emperor trembles on his dragon throne: Let her do as she likes. I'm afraid she'll tear apart my dragon bed. To expand her business, Jiang Ruanruan forms a “Violent Demolition Squad” with the dowager consorts banished to the Cold Palace, experts in poisoning, lion's roars, and pulling down people's pants. They collect rent all the way to the capital of a neighboring kingdom. The all-powerful Regent Prince corners her against a wall. “Ruanruan, there's still one place you haven't collected rent from.” Jiang Ruanruan: “Where?” The prince loosens his robe. “My heart. Could I pay the rent... in kind?”
