[Qing Dynasty] The Fourth Consort's Family Is Filthy Rich

Dong Jiarou married a man who was all show and no substance, and married life was one mess after another.

When she woke up, she had transmigrated into Dong E Jiarou, the principal consort of the Ninth Prince, Aisin Gioro Yinzhen, a pitiful woman everyone in the palace shook their heads over.

The Ninth Prince doted on his secondary consort, the Wanyan woman. He often stayed out all night, cared only about spending money and never about managing the household, and let her spend as much silver as she liked... She had successfully achieved a life of beauty, leisure, and money to spend, with a scoundrel of a husband who never came home.

On top of that, when she went to the palace to pay her respects, her parents-in-law showered her with gifts. They were the dream in-laws she had never dared imagine!

History was moving along its original course. Jiarou felt she couldn't just sit back and wait for disaster, so she needed a fallback plan. She began to seriously manage the shops under her control.

At first, she only planned to secretly save up some private money. She never expected things to get out of hand: her business kept growing, and her silver piled higher and higher, until even the Ninth Prince stopped by to learn from her and treated her like a deity...

Blurb:

When spring arrived and the weather warmed, the capital's noble families began holding all kinds of social events. As outings, poetry contests, and flower-viewing banquets got underway, several strange stories gradually began circulating around the city.

The little tyrant who had sworn from childhood never to attend school, nearly giving his father, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, a heart attack, began learning to write under the tutelage of the Grand Tutor's daughter, Miss Jin.

The young heir of the Yongchang Marquis household, known as the capital's number-one playboy, obediently followed Miss Jin around and donated silver to the orphanage.

The young son of the Vice Minister of Punishments, who had never spoken to anyone outside the family since birth, took Miss Jin's hand at his birthday banquet and sweetly called her "Elder Sister."

Amid the city's chorus of praise, there were also some less impressed voices:

Jin Yuqing was only good with children. She hardly deserved so much acclaim.

Before long, Miss Jin had another achievement to her name: even Xu Chi, the murderous General Dingguo, had been tamed by her.

When the news spread, the entire capital was stunned.

How had she done it?
