In her previous life, the real daughter, Shen Ning, was drained dry and left to die by her scumbag fiancé, the Crown Prince, and her scheming younger sister.
Reborn on the very day her engagement was called off, Shen Ning awakened the bloodline of a “bandit” on the spot! She washed her sister’s face with boiling water, kicked the delusional Crown Prince flying, then swung a sledgehammer and smashed up the main hall of the Chancellor’s residence. “Fine, we can break off the engagement, but first give back every bit of my mother’s dowry, with interest!”
Then, full of delight, she married in place of someone else, becoming the bride of Xiao Qianting, the crippled, bloodthirsty Prince of Zhenbei.
The whole capital was waiting to see her die, but Shen Ning was overjoyed. “Meals and lodging included, plus a huge settling-in allowance? At last, this immense fortune is mine!”
On their wedding night, the brutal prince tested her with a knife. Shen Ning snatched it from him, her eyes shining. “Gems set in black iron? This could fetch fifty taels! How generous of you, Your Highness!”
From then on, Shen Ning ran the prince’s estate like a wealthy family business and treated her crippled husband like an “ATM,” sweet-talking him whenever she needed money. She disciplined the wicked servants, opened a restaurant, and even healed her husband’s legs along the way.
Then, on the night they were ambushed, Shen Ning grabbed an iron wok and stood in front of his wheelchair, roaring, “Who dares lay a hand on my long-term meal ticket? I’ll dig up their ancestors’ graves!”
In that instant, the ruthless and decisive prince, the emperor’s brutal uncle, fell completely for her.
Later, her awful birth family went bankrupt and came begging for food, while her scumbag ex knelt and begged to get back together. Meanwhile, the frail prince not only got back on his feet, but also placed the keys to the imperial treasury in her hands. His eyes red, he pleaded, “I’ll give you the empire, and my life too. Wife, could you give me a little more pocket money tonight?”
