The Greedy Substitute Bride Won the Favor of the Tyrannical New Emperor

The good news: Rong Yao has transmigrated into the role of a princess sent abroad for a political marriage, and she knows every move the deranged new emperor will make in his quest for revenge.

The bad news: The new emperor, Pei Jin, is naturally suspicious and brutal. In her previous life, the original Rong Yao was torn limb from limb on his orders!

To stay alive, Rong Yao resolutely launches her ridiculous “money first, life second” act of playing dumb.

When the enemy crown prince orders her to poison someone, she turns around and sells the packet of poison to the tyrant in exchange for a solid-gold cooking pot.

When powerful nobles plot a rebellion, she uses the pretext of checking their private stashes to sweep up the rebels’ entire treasury.

When an assassin threatens her family’s lives to make her steal a defense map, she slaps the blood-written threat onto the emperor’s desk and shouts that she’s reporting a crime!

Xiao Heng, the crown prince of Daye, is at his wits’ end. “Is she a spy for Daye, or a harbinger of doom for Beiyuan?!”

The ministers of Beiyuan tremble in fear. “Why does His Majesty dote on this country girl who only has eyes for money?!”

Pei Jin pulls Rong Yao, whose hand has cramped from counting money, into his arms. His eyes brim with possessive obsession.

“I’ll give you half my empire and let you empty my treasury. Tonight... you can repay me with your body.”

Rong Yao: “??? Tyrant, get a grip! I’m just a middlewoman making a profit on the price difference!”
