I Got Rich Making Games in Ancient Times

[I tried to write some romance, but failed. I still don't know how to write it QAQ. Slowly working on the manuscript~] Game designer Shang Zhi is worked to death. When she opens her eyes, she has transmigrated into the unloved second concubine-born daughter of the Chancellor's household in the Northern Kingdom. Thinking of how she died in her previous life, Shang Zhi figures that being an insignificant, idle daughter of a noble family isn't so bad. But her stepmother is crazy. At her advanced age, she still believes in a love that lasts a lifetime between just two people. She doesn't care that the Chancellor betrayed her, but wants to kill his inconvenient concubine-born daughter. Her elder half-sister follows her example. On the very first day after Shang Zhi transmigrates, she is framed, locked in a dark room, and comes down with a cold. After nearly starving and falling ill to death, she finally understands: lying flat is not an option. She can only keep struggling a little longer. Luckily, she binds herself to a game designer System. To save her life, Shang Zhi turns her attention to Prince Anning, the Northern Kingdom's most notorious playboy.

Shang Zhi makes a fortune with countless game ideas and finally finds a chance to leave the Chancellor's household. No longer restrained by etiquette and convention, she can live a peaceful, happy life. But then Prince Anning, the Northern Kingdom's most notorious playboy, barges into her bedroom and looks at her with beautiful, mocking peach-blossom eyes. "What, you want to use me and then toss me aside? You clearly don't know my reputation. You won't get away with that so easily!" Shang Zhi leans closer to look at his lips, tense with nerves, and smiles playfully. "What? No one else is allowed this kind of advantage, but I am?" * Prince Anning, Xie Fei, is the Northern Kingdom's most notorious playboy. He has a fiery temper and picks fights with everyone. His fearsome reputation is enough to make small children cry at night, yet he is of exalted birth and deeply favored, so no one dares provoke him. But who could have known that at first he was only trying to ruin his own reputation to protect his elder brother's position and save his family? No one remembers that he was once praised as a young talent unsurpassed in both literary and military arts, and even he nearly forgot. It isn't until he meets the concubine-born daughter of the Chancellor, whom he initially dismissed, and watches her go from having nothing to becoming richer than the nation, that Xie Fei suddenly realizes: if he doesn't work harder, he won't even be able to get himself a wife!
