My Fair Princess: Crushing Scumbags and Winning Qianlong’s Devotion

Xiao Yanzi died. She died in the third year after Fifth Prince Yongqi married Zhihua, in a cell at the Clan Court. The man who had promised to take her “wandering the world” never came to see her, not even once before her death.

When she opened her eyes again, she was back on the day she was locked up in the Clan Court. Yongqi still wore that deeply devoted expression. “Xiao Yanzi, I’ll take you away!”

Xiao Yanzi smiled. In her previous life, she had believed him. This time, whoever wanted to leave could go. She would not be joining them.

In the neighboring cell, Ziwei winked at her through the iron bars. The two women, both reborn, exchanged smiles.

The scumbag's devotion was an act, and his loyalty was a sham. Then they would tear off the mask, laying Yongqi’s hypocrisy, Erkang’s greed, and Consort Yu’s schemes bare for all to see, ruining them and consigning them to eternal ruin.

After teaming up with her sister to take down the scumbags, Xiao Yanzi turned straight to business. She opened restaurants, cloth shops, and bookstores, spreading her ventures across the capital and earning so much money her hands cramped from counting silver notes. She would live as the freest woman in all of Qing.

But what she hadn't expected was that the Emperor had been reborn too.

In Qianlong’s imperial eyes, filled with regret and obsession from his previous life, only her reflection remained. He pressed a jade token into her palm. “Spend whatever you like from the Imperial Household Department.” He climbed over the wall late at night to bring her osmanthus cakes, with a note that said, “Go to bed early.” In front of the entire court, he declared, “In this life, I would even give you my life.”

In her previous life, Xiao Yanzi had made herself small as dust for love. In this life...

Taking down scumbags? Easy enough.

Making money? She meant business.

Being Qianlong’s favorite? Well... she supposed she could put up with it.
