Shen Wanrou transmigrated into the body of a cannon-fodder princess consort, forced by her scumbag father to marry a sickly, possessive prince to bring him good fortune.
On their wedding night, the prince poisoned the original owner with tea. The poison failed to kill her, but instead activated the prince's mind-reading ability.
From then on, her life became impossible.
[The prince is handsome, but he's so fierce. I hope he doesn't go around killing people all the time.]
Xiao Jingheng: "...I only have a headache."
[If I can make it back alive, I'll seize all of Consort Liu's private savings, open a restaurant, buy some shops, and become a happy rich woman.]
Xiao Jingheng: "I'll have someone deliver Consort Liu's private savings to you tomorrow."
Shen Wanrou: "???"
Later, the imperial court was rife with intrigue, powerful ministers held sway, and everyone was plotting against the prince.
While opening restaurants, running mystery-box promotions, and making money hand over fist in the capital, Shen Wanrou was also roped into serving as the prince's "intelligence network," helping him root out the corrupt officials in court one by one.
[That Assistant Minister Zhao is so ugly, and he still thinks he can hit on me? Your Highness, how much silver do you think this outfit is worth?]
Xiao Jingheng pulled her into his arms and whispered in her ear, "You are priceless."
Shen Wanrou: "...Your Highness, why are you so good with words today?"
[Oh no, this man is flirting with me! No, no, making money comes first. I'm an independent woman!]
Xiao Jingheng chuckled. "I knew exactly what you were thinking."
