The Shangshu Household Tries to Inherit Her Wealth, and the Eldest Daughter Goes on a Rampage

After earning immeasurable merit, Haitang transmigrated into a sweet, harem-style exile novel and became a domineering, brainless supporting female character.

What a familiar, melodramatic setup: a father who preys on his own family, a vicious and calculating stepmother, and a weak, hypocritical stepsister adored by everyone. Haitang was utterly uninterested, her eyes vacant.

Seeing her like that, the stupid System rolled around in grievance. "If you don't turn your life around, we'll grow old and die here."

"We're all wage slaves. What does it matter where we die?" Haitang rolled her eyes.

She casually glanced at the world lines zipping around the System. What? The male lead was a hero who fought off the Japanese pirates?

"The short Japanese pirates I know?" Haitang jolted upright from her deathbed. "I'm taking this mission."

The System looked at her murderous expression and spoke timidly. "Our mission is to turn your life around and win over the male lead."

Haitang nodded. "Win him over, win him over, win him over. Anyone who doesn't win him over is a loser. I just love the male lead to death."

With her "love-struck" side online, Haitang decided to teach the System a lesson. When it came to taking over a family fortune, she was the real expert:

1. The An family's silver vault? Hers!

2. Her stepmother's family granary? Hers!

3. The map's silver-mining island in the northeast? Hers! Every bit of it!

4. Her fiancé's family? (Maybe. She'd have to see.)

On a certain island nation, the weather was fine and the sky clear.

An Haitang rode out with a whip in hand to inspect the Japanese captives digging in the mines. With a melancholy cry, she declared, "If the pirates can come to us, then so can we! Even if I lose what I love most, I won't regret it!"

The System had fallen victim to a scoundrel who tricked it into marriage. It wept bitterly. "Do you want to look at what you've done? You say you love the male lead, so you stole his troops and conquered an island nation."

"He already has a one-year-old child with the original heroine!"

Haitang replied with perfect justification: "If you love him, you should help him fulfill his greatest wish."

As the two argued, a beautiful, gloomy, self-effacing older man came up beside them, clutching a money bag. "Your Majesty, it's all yours!"

"I'll give you my money and my life!"

Haitang turned and lifted the handsome man's chin. It dawned on her: wasn't he the beautiful, strong-but-miserable male lead? She wanted to top him.

Xie Liunian was born with blue eyes and abandoned by his mother at birth because he was considered an ill omen.

After ten years in a brothel, he met adoptive parents when he was at his lowest and thought he'd found a new life. But they only coveted his looks. The boy picked up a butcher's knife and grew to hate the world.

It wasn't until his biological father came looking for him that Xie Liunian learned he was the youngest son of a general. All he could think was that there was something wrong with this world.

Then, one day, a figure as carefree and radiant as the sun burst into his life. She'd once been the only kindness in his world, but now he was overcome by a wicked desire to possess that light.

A fictional world in a turbulent age, not a serious historical drama.

A sweet romance is the main plot, with a thin political-intrigue backdrop.

The heroine relies on her superior gear to fight head-on.
