The Real Heiress Has Come Around (Reborn)

[Please add my new story, Building and Cultivating Immortality with the Demon Consort System, to your collection~]

Jiang Yu thinks her previous life was nothing but a joke.

Everyone says that the Jiang family of Jinling runs a prosperous business and raised its ten daughters in comfort. But as the family's third daughter, she was especially disliked by her parents, so she learned to fight for what she wanted. After her coming-of-age ceremony, her fourth sister stole the advantageous marriage she had fought for, and she was forced to marry a farmer's son.

Fortunately, the farmer's son was ambitious. He went to the capital and became a court official, far away from the Jiang family of Jinling.

But she never imagined that her nightmare was only just beginning.

Jiang Yu discovers that she isn't the Jiang family's unwanted third daughter, but the only daughter of the chief minister of the current dynasty!

She instinctively fought for what she wanted, only to be attacked. Words like crude, greedy, and ungrateful were branded onto her.

In the end, her husband and child were dragged down with her, and they all died miserably at home.

When Jiang Yu opens her eyes in a humble house, she sees her husband up early studying hard. She smiles through her tears. This time, she won't be so foolish!

Jiang Yu devotes herself to managing her shops, eager to expand her business, while also face-slapping the enemies from her previous life. She never expected her business to spread across the whole country, with famous merchants among her employees. But she notices that her husband has changed even more than she has.

He places first in the imperial examinations, serves as a court official in the capital for two years, then governs a region for three years. By the time he returns, he has already risen to the second rank. In just two years, her husband reaches the highest rank, able to stand as an equal to her biological father at court.

Jiang Yu: Something's not quite right.

Chen Mingxuan: When will she figure out that I was reborn, too?

1. An alternate world, with original details about the status of merchants in ancient times.

2. Both the male and female leads are reborn. The male lead and their child weren't dragged down by the female lead in their previous lives.

3. After she's reborn, the heroine's personality won't change abruptly. She'll grow gradually.

Blurb for the new story:

The moment Shi Jing opens her eyes, she finds she's become a beauty forced into the imperial palace.

A powerless beauty is like a tempting cake, and anyone can take a bite. If she wants power, she'll have to engage in a little intimate bargaining.

Shi Jing sits bolt upright like a lazy fish: "Let's kill the emperor! I'm done serving him!"

Ding~ Password accepted. Welcome to the Demon Consort System.

Shi Jing becomes Consort Li, one of the emperor's three highest-ranking consorts. Around her are palace consorts with tragic pasts, the empress's hostility, and warnings from the court that she's a demon consort.

No matter. She can use the Demon Consort System to give the concubines their own subsystems, with unique techniques for cultivating immortality and building up the imperial harem.

Tyrant: Consort Li's place is still the best. The beauties have so many tricks, cause so little trouble, and even come up with ways to deal with those old fools at court for me.

The three thousand beauties who rely on Shi Jing: Soul-devouring literary arts! Algorithmic sword techniques! Buddhist incantations! Applied mechanics and engineering! Alchemical pills by dosage! Chaotic hybridization!

One trick a day for communicating with the court and overthrowing the emperor.

Shi Jing: Become emperor? That's thinking too small! If we're doing this, let's topple the feudal system and build a communist society of immortal cultivators!

The common people: The emperor is gone? Women are in charge? What does that have to do with us? The harvest is better, the children learn immortal cultivation, and we can even play a casual online game in our spare time. Life is heavenly!

The male lead, a dragon prince who descended to undergo tribulation: You all live even better than the real immortals in the cultivation world! I feel like I'm a fake immortal!

She originally meant to make the kingdom collapse as quickly as possible, but ended up becoming a demon consort, with him completely wrapped around her little finger. She never expected the dynasty to be revived by the imperial harem.

A little scene:

Male lead: Three years already. Has my wife ruined the country yet?

System: No. Your wife launched a revolution and seized power. She's about to invade the immortal cultivation world.

An obsessive male lead with no morals x a socially anxious, naturally dark-hearted heroine
