I Transmigrated as the Wicked Stepsister and Started Short Selling in Ancient Times

I transmigrated into an ancient romance novel as the wicked stepsister, and from the start I was forced to marry a sickly man in place of my legitimate elder sister.

My whole family waited for me to cry, beg for mercy, and get cast aside.

I smiled.

Take her place as the bride? Fine. But I had one condition: I wanted to investigate the cause of my birth mother’s death.

My stepmother thought she had my life in her hands, not knowing I’d already planted a bomb in the account books.

My elder sister stole my fiancé? I turned around and snapped up the most valuable plot of land in her dowry for triple the price.

My family treated me like a stepping stone? I was determined to make them kneel and beg me to stay.

Later...

My father clutched his chest and asked me, “What is it you really want?”

I opened the last ledger and smiled.

“I don’t want a single cent of the Shen family’s money. All I want is for you to... lose everything and see your family destroyed.”
