After Becoming the Million-Dollar Princess

Olivia transmigrated.

The good news: she had become the youngest daughter of William Astor, an American real estate tycoon, and a nineteenth-century American princess with countless riches at her disposal.

The bad news: according to her family’s plans, in three years she was likely to marry some empty-headed playboy with a title and nothing else.

Olivia’s response: Arranged marriages are a hard no!

If she wanted the freedom to choose whom she married, she first needed financial freedom.

So, at fourteen, Olivia promptly set off to study in England. She could enjoy the long-missed pleasures of student life while building connections and working hard to make money. Life was wonderful.

Except that, before she knew it... she seemed to have caught the attention of some truly powerful men.

The brown-haired boy who fell in love with her at first sight was the Austrian crown prince;

The elegant gentleman who indulged her every whim was an English prince;

And the handsome boy who had looked so disheveled when they first met turned out to be a descendant of the Bonaparte family: the legendary Napoleon IV!

OMG, was I actually the one irresistible to everyone?

“I don’t want some fleeting, insubstantial love. What I want is something real.”

“Like wealth, a title, or perhaps... power.”

From a pampered young lady with nothing but money to her name, an American “commoner” despised by everyone in British high society, to staging a coup to restore the Bonaparte dynasty and becoming the Empress of the Second French Empire, the all-powerful Empress of France,

Olivia spent twenty whole years on that journey.

Coming soon: A Last Queen’s Guide to Saving Herself

Blurb: When Maria woke up, she found herself in the eighteenth-century Austrian palace. Her mother, Queen Maria Theresa, had just seen off a French delegation that had come to discuss a marriage alliance.

Maria’s vision went black. OMG, had she transmigrated into that poor queen who married off to France at a young age and eventually died on the guillotine?!

At this point, less than a year remained before the wedding.

Maria looked around: a father who had died young, an overbearing mother, an incompetent husband, and an ambitious love rival... Heh, everything had gone wrong from the start.

To escape the tragic fate of being forced to die on the guillotine, Maria decided to find a way to save herself.

What do you do when your husband is completely useless?

The answer is simple: sideline him, then take charge yourself!

And so, Maria directed her ministers at home to boost the economy and carry out reforms, while outsmarting her European relatives and squeezing them for every last penny. In the end, she even got herself a crown to wear.

Oh, who says this is a bad life? This life is absolutely wonderful!

Later, a reporter interviewed the legendary empress, who had built a new empire through her own efforts and experienced two marriages, and asked whether she had considered marrying again.

Maria smiled and replied, “What’s the point of getting married? Wouldn’t it be better to keep a few more lovers?”

The reporter: ?

The men eager to propose to her: ?
