The Wealthy Heiress's Concubine

Main Story: Household Intrigue

Ever since she was little, she had refused to accept it. Why shouldn't her business acumen be as good as her older brother's and younger brother's? Why couldn't she become a proper merchant? Then she saw the wealthy young ladies who were usually friendly with her. They would buy things from her family, then laugh behind her back about how she and her family reeked of money.

Fine. Su Jingrou would give up business. If merchants supposedly reeked of money, then she would make those officials look up to her! She would change her social standing and make sure her descendants would never be looked down on!

But reality dealt her an even heavier blow. Given her status, she could only become a concubine. Unless a family was truly destitute, no one would marry a merchant's daughter as a proper wife. No one wanted a wife who showed her face in public. Fine, then. If she had to be a concubine, she would be the richest one, the kind whose lord and his primary wife both had to beg her for money just to make ends meet!
