After Dumping the Mad General, I Became Richer Than a Nation

I was transported into a tragic romance as the heroine. The System said that if I followed the plot and died for the male lead, I could take the money and leave.

So I dutifully played Rui Jiang, who loved Ying Xiao with all her heart. When he misunderstood me, I explained things for him. When he hurt me, I wept for him. Finally, when his army was defeated and he was taken prisoner, I gave my life to buy him a slim chance of survival, bringing the story to a perfect BE ending.

On the night I faked my death, Ying Xiao stormed the enemy camp and reclaimed my “body.” They say that the undefeated general held me and cried all night, then went completely mad.

Three years later, under the assumed name A Lan, I became the wealthiest woman in Jiangnan, and my life couldn’t have been better.

Until one day, a man radiating bloodlust, his eyes full of madness, barged into my residence and pointed his sword at me. His voice was hoarse as he said, “Hand over the Resurrection Herb.”

I looked at his haggard face, identical to Ying Xiao’s, and smiled.

“General, I don’t have any Resurrection Herb, but I do have poison. Want some?”

Later, he became the ruler of the realm, yet knelt before my door every day, begging for just one more look from me.

“A Lan, I know it’s you. Rui Jiang, come back.”

I raised my wine cup, smiling brightly. “Rui Jiang, the tribute of a conquered nation, died long ago. The woman standing before you now is the Jiangnan Queen, far beyond your reach.”
