Old Man, I'm Here to Inherit Your Fortune

Li Rong arrived in the fifth year of the Daye era and settled in a small county in Duanzhou. With a loving grandmother and a modest fortune, she was living a wonderfully comfortable life.

Then, when she turned sixteen, her scumbag father came looking for her, demanding she go to the capital.

She couldn't put him off, and she was sick of his pestering, so she decided to strike at the root of the problem: go to the capital, infuriate the old geezer, and avenge her mother's death from sorrow.

Before she left, her grandmother worried that her identity as a woman would be exposed. The Li clan relatives cried as they saw her off, but once they got home, they cheered and set off firecrackers in private: Waaah, the tyrant of Duanzhou is finally gone!

The treacherous Wei Shi'an abuses his power, acts with unchecked arrogance, forms cliques for personal gain, and has countless lives on his hands. He doesn't even give the royal family any respect.

Perhaps because he has done so many wicked things, he is nearing fifty and still hasn't fathered a son to inherit his vast estate.

After falling seriously ill, he vaguely remembered the wife and unborn child he had once abandoned, and immediately sent people to search for them in Duanzhou.

Months later, they found them. The child refused, saying she was dull-witted and would surely cause trouble if she went to the capital.

He didn't give it a second thought. How much trouble could a child possibly cause? So he wrote back to reassure her: "Come to the capital without worry. Whatever happens, your father will take care of it."

He would regret those overconfident words countless times afterward.

One month after arriving in the capital, his eldest daughter demanded to break off her engagement.

Two months after arriving, his wife asked to leave the marriage, and all his concubines started making a scene about becoming nuns. The Wei household was in chaos.

Three months after arriving, Li Rong became the capital's new tyrant, punching a prince's heir, kicking a young marquis, and making a huge scene at the Imperial Academy!

In less than half a year, Chief Councillor Wei was overwhelmed with work and people were finding dirt on him at every turn. With no other choice, he sent her into the palace to be the young emperor's companion. The result? His "good son" went straight into a passionate romance with the young emperor, sharing a bed with him.

She wasn't just going to end the Wei family line, she was going to make him a laughingstock before the entire court and the people of the realm!

Chief Councillor Wei rolled his eyes in fury again and again, then lay in bed and shouted, "You unfilial brat, what are you trying to do?"

Li Rong grinned. "I just want to inherit your estate."
