After My Soul Crossed Over, I Ruled the Harem

On a moonless night, Gu Man'er, the richest woman in Bianjing, was accused of secretly trafficking in salt and iron, a grave crime.

Her father died when his old illness flared up from anger. Of her three older brothers, one went missing and the other two were exiled to the harsh, freezing frontier. Gu Man'er was poisoned and died with her eyes open in a sedan chair in the wilderness.

That same night, Jiang Yuerong, the illegitimate daughter of General Dingyuan, also died. When Gu Man'er woke, her soul had transmigrated into Jiang Yuerong's body. To clear the Gu family's name and bring her three brothers home, she entered the palace as a concubine, using her status as an illegitimate daughter to take part in the selection.

From Bianjing's richest female merchant to the capital's most powerful empress, Jiang Yuerong says: This isn't difficult at all. The most wonderful thing about life is finding a way out when all hope seems lost, and she's especially good at that...

Rumors say that Xiao Dingfeng is cruel and heartless, with an emperor's mind too deep to fathom. He was the biggest winner in the struggle among the nine princes for the throne, and stopped at nothing, killing his father and brothers. Jiang Yuerong was a little afraid of him, until one day she overheard Xiao Dingfeng whispering furtively outside the window, ruthlessly plucking flowers as he muttered:

"Do I actually like Man'er... or Yuerong...?"

A golden peony petal fell to the ground, then a second, a third, a fourth…

Jiang Yuerong: ??? Am I the replacement lover?
