The Wu family of Zhongjing didn't have many talented people, but they certainly had plenty of money.
Lying in a nest of gold and silver, Wu Yuyao thought: Transmigrating into a book isn't bad, though it's a shame the Wu family is just cannon fodder.
As the plot unfolded, everything that was happening now would end up benefiting the heroine, their cousin.
But Wu Yuyao didn't think it was a big deal. All she had to do was spend all their money before that happened.
Spending money? Anyone could do that.
Just as she was throwing money around, her eldest sister was reborn, and her second sister transmigrated.
Their cousin tearfully complained to the old madam that Wu Yuyao had insulted her and bullied her with her power.
Her eldest sister barely lifted an eyelid. "What kind of filthy little wretch comes here to complain? My little sister has always been straightforward. If you hadn't provoked her, why would she pick on you?"
Their cousin wore the jade hairpin bestowed by the eldest princess, showing off her "understated elegance" in front of Wu Yuyao.
Her fourth sister smiled and pulled out a stack of banknotes. "Little sister, buy ten of them and have fun smashing them."
Later, Wu Yuyao realized the money was becoming impossible to spend, and the heroine really wasn't managing to bully her.
She patted the teary-eyed heroine. "My sisters are just too good. There's nothing I can do."
The heroine wiped her tears and hugged her arm, saying it was all right. If she couldn't beat them, she could join them.

Wu Yuyao thought she'd spend her whole life lying in a nest of gold and silver, but then a top scholar appeared out of nowhere.
The man said she had done him a kindness, and insisted on repaying her by "offering himself to her."
Wu Yuyao, who was used to a comfortable life: No way! A top scholar sounds like someone who's poor and spent years studying by lamplight. He's not right for me at all.
In a springtime peach orchard, Wu Yuyao stood amid the fragrant blossoms and bowed apologetically to the cool, handsome top scholar. "This humble girl is vulgar by nature and cares only about gold and silver. I am unworthy of a man as pure and bright as you, Scholar Shen."
Shen Qing ran his fingers over the jade pendant she had mistakenly gifted him, then looked up at the woman before him, whose beauty dimmed the spring garden. His eyes darkened a little. "Heh."
On their wedding night, Wu Yuyao was pinned by the man who seemed cold and aloof on a canopy bed made of golden-thread nanmu wood, over bright red wedding bedding embroidered with gold thread.
Her eyes were hazy, tears trembling on her lashes. "D-do heirs of princely houses have to take the imperial examinations too?"
Shen Qing's gaze was deep as he pinned her hands and whispered with a laugh in her ear, "You tell me."
