After I Broke Off My Engagement to the Future Emperor, He Begged Me to Take Him Back

[Reborn + Strong Female Lead + Business + The Husband's Road to Redemption + Face-Slapping and Putting Scumbags in Their Place + Building a Fortune]

In her previous life, Jiang Nianci bankrupted herself to raise a man who became the founding emperor. In return, she got a sickbed in the cold palace, eight concubines, and a lonely, miserable death.

She was reborn three days before her wedding.

She picked up her brush and wrote out a letter breaking off the engagement, every stroke as forceful as a thousand pounds.

“Pei Zhaoheng, win your empire yourself. I won't give you a single coin of my silver ever again.”

Then she turned around and set the world in motion.

She stockpiled grain a year before the drought, secured salt permits before the salt and iron reforms, and supplied both sides before the warlords went to battle.

Within three years, seven or eight tenths of the trade routes across the land passed through her hands.

Without her as his money tree, Pei Zhaoheng struggled to launch his rebellion, yet he shamelessly pursued her anyway.

Each time he captured a city, he sent someone to deliver its land deeds to the entrance of her trading house.

Wherever she went to do business, he made sure to clear out the bandits beforehand.

Jiang Nianci sneered. “General Pei, business goes to the highest bidder. What can you offer?”

Pei Zhaoheng fell silent for a long moment, then offered her the sheathed saber in his hand and knelt on one knee.

“My life. Is that enough?”

Jiang Nianci: ...This isn't how things went in my previous life!
