Reborn as the legitimate daughter, she won’t fight over a scumbag. She’ll just do business.
In her previous life, Shen Qingning, the eldest legitimate daughter of the Duke’s mansion, died because she was “kind.”
She gave her dowry to her half-sister, handed her shops to her stepmother, and let her fiancé go.
In return, she got a cup of poisoned wine and the words, “You deserved it.”
Reborn, she neither cries nor throws tantrums nor tries to hang herself.
First, she takes stock of the businesses her mother left behind.
Second, she throws out every last person her stepmother planted in the household.
Third, she makes sure the whole capital knows that the most valuable thing the Duke’s mansion owns isn’t its ancestral home. It’s the name Shen Qingning.
Starting with a rouge shop on the verge of bankruptcy, she takes just one year to make “Qingning” a brand sought after by every noblewoman in the capital.
Everyone says the Shen family’s legitimate daughter is cold-blooded, heartless, and obsessed with money.
She smiles. “What’s wrong with smelling of money? It’s still better than the blood-soaked buns you people feast on.”
Then Pei Yan, the ruthless Marquis of Zhenbei, blocks her path:
“I hear you’re looking for a business partner?”
“Are you investing, Marquis?”
“No.” He steps closer. “I want to marry into your family.”
Not bad, recommended
