I'm a Rich Woman, Not Your Empress

Third-tier actress Jiang Yanran accidentally transmigrated into a fetus and became the legitimate eldest daughter of the Duke of the State of Great Hongying. She used her intelligence to start a few small businesses. From then on, everything went smoothly. She ate well, drank well, and was perfectly content. She thought she could coast through life on "easy" mode, but never expected her extremely controlling aunt to arrange her marriage to the young emperor, who had ascended the throne at a tender age but had never been able to seize real power. From then on, Jiang Yanran began the difficult business of making a living as a "tool" for the young emperor, while he did the same for her. At first: Jiang Yanran: "I won't get in the way of your pursuit of power or beautiful women. You don't get in the way of my plans, either." Young Emperor: "Agreed." Later, after the young emperor took power: Jiang Yanran: "Can I leave the palace now?" Young Emperor (enigmatically): "Hm? Where are you going? Did I say you could?" Jiang Yanran: "...Are you a sore loser or what?" Also known as "Those Years I Was a Tool in the Imperial Harem," "This Dog Emperor Just Wants My Money," "Why Be Empress When You Can Be a Rich Woman?" and "The Rise of the Jiang Business Empire." Jiang Yanran: Thanks for asking. I'm in the imperial palace, just got off my phoenix carriage, earn a million a month, and have a lovestruck emperor chasing after me. A rich woman's life is just so dull and boring. (Smiles.) The writing style is normal, except whenever the heroine shows up, everything goes off the rails. 1. The heroine is sweet and feisty; the hero is a jerk and a lunatic. (Note: these are two adjectives each!) 2. At heart, this is a goofy historical romance. If you find it uncomfortable, please accept my kowtow. 3. Love you all! I hope you stay safe and healthy!
