After Emptying the Marquis's Estate, the Laid-Back Concubine Raised Her Child in Retirement

Shen Tingwan, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Wuning, had been hopelessly in love with Second Prince Qi Chengye for two years. She poured her maternal grandfather, the Lu family's, immense fortune into him, only to get this in return: “Your mother was born into a merchant family. The best you can hope for is to be my secondary consort.”

Modern-day office worker Lin Shuyi transmigrated into a book, and couldn't help laughing when she heard that. “I'm not good enough? Perfect. Let's break off the engagement!”

A biased scumbag father, a hypocritical second uncle, and a wicked grandmother?

Lin Shuyi awakened an unbelievably powerful space ability and, in a single night, emptied out the entire Marquis of Wuning's residence and the scumbag prince's secret treasury. She even stripped the house of its load-bearing walls!

Then she took her divorced mother with her, publicly severed ties with the family, and walked away unscathed.

To get away from this pack of ungrateful wolves for good, Lin Shuyi set her sights on the Crown Prince, Qi Linyuan, a disgraced heir rumored to be cold, cruel, and uninterested in women.

To Lin Shuyi, the Eastern Palace was the perfect place to settle down: a stipend, room and board, and no sex life. It was basically a paid retirement!

She sauntered into the Eastern Palace and, using Shen Tingwan's identity, became a laid-back secondary consort.

But less than three months into lying flat, Lin Shuyi stared in shock at her increasingly rounded belly.

The cold-faced Crown Prince cornered her against the wall and said in a low voice, “I hear you've been waiting for me to die so you can inherit the Eastern Palace's fortune?”
