The Fourth Prince Doesn’t Favor Me, but I’m a Master of Household Schemes

Xu Wanru, a modern marketing director, suddenly finds herself as the lowest-ranking concubine in Fourth Master’s manor. From the start, she’s stuck in a ramshackle room with a leaky roof, and even her charcoal ration is being withheld. Facing a courtyard full of “workplace rivals” who are as vicious as wolves and tigers, she sneers, “Household infighting? It’s just a matter of capturing the untapped market!” When the secondary consort schemes against her, Xu counters with a round of competitor analysis and snatches the advantage right back. When Lady Li throws her weight around because she’s borne a son, Xu uses hunger marketing to keep the icy Fourth Master running to her courtyard every day.

One day, the decisive Fourth Master pins her against a wall, his voice husky. “I’ll indulge your playing hard to get. Tell me, what do you want this time?”

Xu Wanru pulls out her ledger, grinning like a miser. “Master, I’ve met my year-end KPIs. I’d like to apply for a promotion to secondary consort, and maybe outsource the household management to me too?”
