From the Start, I Had One Shop: I Raised a New Emperor and Ushered in a Golden Age

[Nation-building] [Succession struggle] [Marriage first, love later] [A powerful couple who protect each other]

After transmigrating as the cast-off daughter of a marquis's household, Su Wanqing is shoved into the "empty" Eastern Palace that everyone avoids, left to wait for death?

Looking at the Crown Prince's residence, so poor it can't pay its monthly stipends, the deadly succession struggle closing in from every side, and the "sickly" Crown Prince rumored not to live past next year, Su Wanqing quietly puts the business and agricultural knowledge in her head to work.

No money or food? Then she'll start with a pastry shop!

She makes scented oils, opens restaurants, promotes composting on the farms, and establishes the Great Yan Dynasty's first bank.

When the Second Prince joins forces with the powerful clans to force the Crown Prince's abdication by cutting off his supplies, Su Wanqing turns around and slaps them with account books showing a fortune beyond the reach of any nation, cutting off the economic lifeline of the capital!

Everyone suddenly realizes that the purse strings of the Great Yan Dynasty have long been firmly in the hands of this unassuming Crown Princess.

Then, on the day the enemy reaches the city gates, the Crown Prince, once so frail, settles the fate of the realm with a single sword strike and shields her behind him.

After the new emperor takes the throne, Su Wanqing is just about to retire with her banknotes, having accomplished her mission, when the man pins her firmly to the dragon throne:

"The empire is yours, and so am I. If the empress wants to quit, has she asked for the imperial seal in my hand?"
