Quirky, earnest woman x unhinged powerful official | coercive romance | love-triangle drama | stealing someone's love interest
Yin Qingshang transmigrates into a Mary Sue world.
The good news: in the future, she'll form deep ties with an unhinged powerful official, a pure-hearted general, and a sly tycoon. She'll be doted on all the time and become an irreplaceable merchant in the capital.
The bad news: her unreliable, newly acquired father has raised an equally unreliable beagle. He spends his days drinking tea and wrangling the dog, leaving her to manage the family business. She knows nothing about commerce. What if she runs it into the ground...?
The even worse news: the unhinged official wants to surround her home the moment they meet, while her encounter with the sly tycoon is something he has carefully plotted.
Damn! At least she has her childhood friend, the young general, by her side. Being friends forever would be great, except... who knew he was in love with her?
She never imagined that the unhinged official would even mistake her relationship with the general for something more.
When she hears that the young general is about to return from the border, she rushes to ask Lu Huiyong if she can go welcome him home.
"You can," Lu Huiyong says, holding a book and not even looking up.
Yin Qingshang is overjoyed and turns to leave without a second thought, only to hear the man behind her say:
"I'll kill myself for you to see."

"Let us scheme against each other and offer up our pitiful scraps of sincerity, so we can make it through this endless road together."
The Great Chu princess You Jingshu was brilliant and gifted, and every man in the realm considered it an honor to earn a single glance from her. But she was stubborn to the bone. On the day the Sui army breached the capital of Chu, she refused to live alongside the rebels and leapt from the city wall.
She didn't die, though. Instead, she became a servant to the Sui princess.
The princess speaks gently to everyone else, but is harsh and sharp-tongued with her. Everyone in the household curries favor with the powerful and tramples on the weak, making her wash clothes in the river in winter and tend the kitchen fire in summer.
Once the time is right, she takes revenge on the princess and sets the residence ablaze.
Her next target is the woman's nephew, Xiao Jinian.
Xiao Jinian was raised by his aunt from childhood and considers himself deeply indebted to her. He naturally respects and honors her.
One day, on his way to visit his aunt, a woman beneath a shower of falling petals stirs his desire. Rather than cherish her, he decides to tame her and put her to use, until she can no longer live without him.
So on the night the princess's residence catches fire, he deliberately plays the hero and saves the beauty, hiding her in his own residence and telling her lies about loving her. She never objects, so surely she must be deeply in love with him. Perhaps he should indulge her a little and make her even more devoted.
Until one day, she points her sword at him.
