Su Qianqian transmigrated into an early-era sweet romance novel as a disposable supporting character.
The original owner was infatuated with the Regent, Xiao Huaijin. She stole a military tally to please him, only for her whole family to be exiled and herself to die on a snowy road.
Su Qianqian: Run! Run tonight!
She packed her things and crawled through a dog hole. Just as she turned out of the alley, the most powerful man in the entire capital blocked her way.
Xiao Huaijin lifted her chin, his phoenix eyes deep and unreadable. "I hear you want to be the princess consort?"
Su Qianqian shook her head frantically. "No! I want to open a restaurant! Make a fortune! Keep eight or ten handsome companions!"
The next day, an imperial proclamation was posted throughout the city:
"The Office of Male Companions is hereby established to oversee the selection of talented young men in the capital. Su, second daughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei's household, is appointed director. The director shall set the evaluation standards."
A line of tiny text was added beside it: "Male Companion Qualification Certificate No. 0001, holder: Xiao Huaijin."
Su Qianqian: ???
She was forced to become the director of the Office of Male Companions, then was granted a marriage to the Regent and forced to take the position of Regent's Princess Consort.
But all she wanted was to make money!
Later, Drunken Immortal Tower opened branches across the land, the Office of Male Companions became a talent pool, and the entire court was full of her people.
Xiao Huaijin wrapped an arm around her waist and murmured with a laugh, "Your Highness, Male Companion Number One requests a lifetime appointment."
Su Qianqian: ...Fine, I suppose this isn't a bad deal.
