Blurb:

Overnight, Lu Qingqing transmigrates into a house-fighting novel as a supporting character: a scheming concubine-born daughter who risks her reputation to marry into a powerful family, only to end up in an unhappy marriage with unfilial children.

The transmigrated Lu Qingqing believes relying on marriage to change her fate is unreliable. Depending on herself is the right way. She decisively leaves the family where neither her father nor mother cares for her, heads to the countryside to make a living on her own, rolls up her sleeves, and sets out to make a fortune.

She starts with two mu of land, and every bit of silver has to be earned. Lu Qingqing and her young maid plant in spring and harvest in autumn, while she studies porcelain-making. In her spare time, she sets up a stall selling food, and whenever she earns some money, she buys livestock.

As time goes by, her two mu of land become a hundred mu of fertile fields, her snack stall turns into a grand restaurant, and her ramshackle chicken coop grows into a large farm.

The Lu family, who once looked down on Lu Qingqing, only want to bring her back and marry her off to a poor scholar to get her out of the way. But they see that she has become a manor owner with a vast fortune.

The Lu family gets greedy and wants to hand her property to their legitimate son. Lu Qingqing smiles. "I'm afraid you'll have to ask my fiance about that."

Everyone is baffled. How dare Lu Qingqing have a secret affair without permission? Then they see Prince Pingnan Zhao Shoucheng running his prayer beads and asking, "Who dares covet my wife's property?"

Prince Pingnan Zhao Shoucheng is accomplished in both letters and arms, and exceptionally handsome. But because others are wary of him, he cannot marry into one of the capital's powerful families. To show his sincerity, he willingly goes to the countryside to live as an idle prince, where he happens to meet Lu Qingqing.

Independent and self-reliant, she is nothing like those delicate noble ladies. Zhao Shoucheng falls completely for her, and from then on sticks by Lu Qingqing's side every day, always asking, "Miss Lu, will you be my princess consort? If you will, we can do it right now."

One-on-one romance + happy ending. A reliable author who won't abandon the story!
