On her third transmigration into a book, Sang Qi looked at the heir who was leaping into an icy lake to die for his unattainable first love and decided on the spot to quit.
She forcibly locked in the System’s bare-minimum survival route, then tossed an expensive fox-fur cloak to the mute bodyguard, frozen stiff in the corner.
All she had to do was win over this half-dead pawn, and she could walk away from the job with a fortune.
For that fortune, Sang Qi became a mad queen and whipped the marquis’s household into shape.
She taught him to read, tore up his slave contract, and raised the self-loathing slave into a violent, crazed wolf.
The original male lead finally saw the light, grew mad with jealousy, and tried to take her by force.
But the mute bodyguard of old had donned armor and been made a marquis. Before the assembled court, he handed over his military seal.
He fiercely shielded Sang Qi behind him, his eyes filled with utter madness and obsession.
“This subject offers half the realm as a betrothal gift and begs to marry Sang Qi.
“If Your Majesty refuses, this subject will join the Sang family as a live-in son-in-law.
“See how a clearheaded heroine tears down feudal conventions and claims the money, the power, and the man.”
