After Transmigrating as the Heiress to a Fortune

After transmigrating, Shen Qingye found herself with tens of millions in family wealth. She happily breathed in the air of the Great Zhao Kingdom, free from industrial exhaust and toxic fumes.

At last, she didn't have to keep grinding. She could lie flat and be a happy, carefree rich second-generation heir!

She turned her head and saw her father, the richest man in the land, come home gleefully holding an imperial edict. "My dear girl, your father donated more than half our fortune to the emperor to build a city, and won you a prince for a husband..."

What? Shen Qingye's eyes widened as the thunderous plot of the original story flashed through her mind:

To raise military funds, the emperor had not hesitated to "marry off" the Fourth Prince to the richest man's daughter, Shen Qingye. In exchange for the title of princess consort, the Shen family would hand over tens of millions in wealth.

The Fourth Prince endured the humiliation of marrying a merchant's daughter. On their wedding day, he headed north to the frontier, declaring that he would never return to the capital until the Northern Barbarians were destroyed.

But the old emperor died, and the prince rushed back to fight for the throne. Using the Shen family's fortune to bribe the city gate guards, he stormed the palace and seized the throne.

Then he brought his true love back from the frontier and made her empress, while having the entire Shen family executed...

Poor Shen family: they lost their daughter and their lives, only to be cursed as a greedy merchant clan that had climbed above its station and deserved its fate!

Shen Qingye clenched her fists. The money had already been spent, so why buy that ungrateful wretch?

"Father, donating half isn't enough. Donate it all, and buy me the position of Crown Princess!"

In her previous life, the Crown Prince had been sickly, but he was the son of the late empress and dearly loved by the emperor.

Unfortunately, the Fourth Prince used the Shen family's money to bribe the people around him and secretly switch the Crown Prince's medicine, causing the prince to die of illness and the emperor to pass away.

In this life... Shen Qingye summoned the country's best doctors and spent a fortune sending people overseas to search for medicine.

"I may not have anything else, but I have money. As long as the Crown Prince can be cured, I'll spend whatever it takes!"

The emperor was so moved by her "devotion" to the Crown Prince that, in a burst of enthusiasm, he agreed to open sea routes, trade routes, and border markets...

All to treat the Crown Prince!

Before long, maritime merchants were bringing back grain that could be harvested three times a year, along with sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn that yielded a thousand catties per mu.

The Northern and Southern Barbarian tribes were all busy making big money through trade at the border markets. Nobody had time to fight.

The Crown Prince's health improved day by day, and the emperor was deeply comforted: He really had chosen the right Crown Princess!

When Shen Qingye ascended the Golden Throne Hall alongside the Crown Prince, the emperor and empress stood side by side to receive the court's homage,

the Fourth Prince knelt at her feet and stared at her in a daze. "I think I missed out on something..."

The former Crown Prince, now emperor, replied, "Yes. You missed the Shen family's treasure trove, and my empress!"

Coming soon: The Golden List (Imperial Examinations)

After Tang Mingke died, he learned that a transmigrator had stolen his fate.

Originally, he had learned to read at three, written poetry at five, passed the lowest imperial examination at seven, and become the youngest top graduate in the dynasty at sixteen.

He married a princess and became her consort, then rose smoothly to become the dynasty's chief minister. He was truly The Outcast, second only to one and above everyone else.

But everything changed when his father brought home an illegitimate elder brother, born to his father's mistress.

The year he was supposed to pass the lowest imperial examination, he fell ill and was bedridden. His elder brother, Zhou Wenyuan, passed the exam, while Tang Mingke ran a fever for three days straight.

The year he was supposed to become the top graduate, a famous Qinhuai courtesan hanged herself outside his home, claiming he had seduced and abandoned her.

His elder brother produced evidence that he had cheated in the imperial examinations. Unable to defend himself, Tang Mingke was stripped of his academic honors and reduced to an ordinary commoner.

Though he had originally been the legitimate son, someone even accused him of being the wrong child, switched at birth.

And so his former illegitimate elder brother became the legitimate heir, passed the highest examination, and married a princess to become her consort...

While Tang Mingke became a disgraced child born to a mistress, driven from home to wander the streets. He died of cold and hunger in the first snowfall of winter in the capital.

At the moment he was reborn, he saw the boy following behind his father.

This time, he would never foolishly treat him as an elder brother and let him steal his literary talent and destiny.

Even if he left this marquis's estate and lost the status and connections of his family,

his would still be the only name on the Golden List.

Coming soon: From Witch to Queen (Nation Building)

Xiya transmigrated.

The good news: She had become an earl's only daughter, with a castle and vast lands of her own, practically a ruler of her own domain.

The bad news: The earl had died in battle, and after she rejected a fortune hunter who had come to propose, he flew into a rage and reported her as a witch.

With a royal envoy as witness, the church's tribunal decided to tie her to a stone pillar and throw her into the river:

According to the rules of witch trials, if she sank after entering the water, that meant she was innocent.

If she floated, that meant she had a pact with the devil, and she would be hauled out and burned to death.

As she fell into the water, she suddenly recalled something someone once said:

If someone decides you're a witch or that you possess a weapon of mass destruction,

the only way to stay alive is to actually be a witch or truly possess a weapon of mass destruction.

So she hurled a giant fireball and burned those filthy, despicable trash to ashes,

leaving her fiefdom clean and pure.

Later, Xiya became the queen of the Witch Kingdom.

When the bitter winter arrived and people in the surrounding countries could only shiver to keep warm, huddling in cold wooden huts afraid to go outside,

the Witch Kingdom heated its homes with boilers and wore soft, warm clothes as fluffy as clouds, while growing fresh greens in glass greenhouses.

When floods, droughts, and locust plagues struck, people in neighboring countries mixed dirt into their black bread to eat.

Meanwhile, the people of the Witch Kingdom drank milk tea and ate white bread stuffed with eggs and meat, as well as charcoal-grilled oysters, fretting that they were getting too fat...

When the witch hunters had killed or driven every witch and cat out of their own countries, they suddenly discovered that an even greater disaster had arrived:

the plague, famine, floods...

But the Witch Kingdom, which had welcomed all the witches and cats, enjoyed a bountiful harvest!

The people were furious. Who said witches were the devil's emissaries? They were clearly saviors!
