I’d Just Saved Enough for My Dowry When Dad Rebelled and Declared Himself Emperor

[Imaginative historical romance + strong heroine + System + transmigration]

In her previous life, Shen Luming was a top CFO. After transmigrating, she spent ten hard years doing business in Jiangnan.

She’s finally saved a whopping three million taels of gold for her dowry, and is about to find an honest man to marry into her family so she can lie flat.

Then, with a deafening crash, the Imperial Guards kick down her front gate.

Pei Yan, a general clad in black iron armor worth thirty thousand taels, kneels before her on one knee.

“Your subordinate is here by imperial decree to escort Princess Yongning back to the capital!”

Shen Luming is completely dumbfounded.

It turns out that her poor border-region father, who writes letters all the time complaining about being broke and asking for money to buy grain, has secretly raised an army of three hundred thousand, conquered the capital, and proclaimed himself emperor.

All the money she earned through ten years of hard work was taken by her own father to fund his rebellion.

Looking at the cold-faced general who has come to fetch her and collect the bill, Shen Luming grits her teeth and hauls off fifty-three whole carts of her personal property.

“I won’t let anyone get a free ride on my dowry.”

“If anyone dares touch even one coin of mine, I’ll show them what modern business warfare looks like.”

As she enters the capital, its finances a glaring sea of red, Shen Luming smirks and runs her abacus.
