The Noblewoman of Changmen

An overworked office drone transmigrates one day and never has to work or study again. She lives in a luxurious mansion, eats delicacies, and wears nothing but exquisite, splendid clothes. Looking ahead to the rest of her life, the greatest hardship she might face is getting sick and having to drink herbal medicine.

What would you do in her place?

Su Qin: Don't ask. The answer is, I'd pack my dowry and leave this very minute!

Her princess mother-in-law is her legitimate mother, her husband was a thorn in the side of the emperor from the moment he was born, and the original owner was a fake who passed herself off as a legitimate daughter to enter the capital for the selection of imperial consorts.

By the time Su Qin took over, the original owner had already offended all three of her superiors: her legitimate mother-in-law, her husband's grandmother, and her husband. She had become the fearsome menace of the Princess's residence, a woman whose very name struck terror into people's hearts.

Maybe... she should lower her head and keep a low profile for now. The Princess's residence offered excellent perks, after all, and the son born of a concubine and his wife would eventually be sent off to live elsewhere. Surely she could tough it out until she moved out and lived on her own!

Su Qin had already decided to lie low in the Princess's residence, keeping her head down and blending into the background. But then her "cheap dad" was coming to the capital. He was the original novel's leading man, and the original plot seemed to be going spectacularly off the rails in real life...

Su Qin was practically glowing with anticipation at the thought of moving out, but she didn't get to live on her own. Instead, she found herself in an increasingly bizarre situation:

When she showed some concern about her dowry and properties, her husband's grandmother assumed she was short on money and secretly came to help fund her private savings. Her husband, a son of a concubine, not only started sticking close to her, but also played up his pitiful side to win her attention...

Her princess mother-in-law was the most domineering of all: "Changmen is full of resentful women, while Yuxiu is hidden away in the women's quarters. I insist on making this unbound scholar famous throughout the court!"

Looking around, she found herself surrounded by all kinds of amazing people. She, the transmigrator, was thoroughly ordinary. Su Qin: ...Since ancient times, transmigrators have been prodigies, masters of business and political intrigue. But I'm uneducated, and I can get by with just one phrase: "Holy crap."

P.S. Transmigration into a book, with an ensemble cast of women in the inner residence.

The plot comes first, with little romance.

Forget your manners and embrace a shameless life. Cai Wei doesn't want to rely on herself anymore!!!

She transmigrated into a farming novel and figured that with the experience of two lifetimes, she could at least become a rich woman, or, at worst, a young lady from a landowning family.

Unfortunately, seven years later, she was still a poor farm girl who never had enough to eat or wear. When spring came, she sniffled as she dug for wild vegetables; in the chilly autumn winds, she ran all over the mountains catching crickets to fill her belly.

Cai Wei doesn't want to work hard anymore. She's had enough of life's hardships, so she might as well take a shortcut!

She tried every rich gentleman within ten li, in the nearby villages and the town, and finally set her sights on the oddball in the county.

There was no other reason. She just wanted to be the warm little sun in the oddball's life (not really).

The young master liked throwing money at her, and she happened to love being pelted with money!!!

The oddball's family supposedly owned tens of thousands of mu of fertile land, along with countless treasuries full of gold, silver, and jewels. His father was even an official in the capital...

Cai Wei didn't believe a word of these rumors. She only believed what she saw with her own eyes.

For instance, every time the oddball saw her smile, he'd toss a purse of money at her. No exaggeration, one of the silver ingots he threw once gave her a bump on the forehead.

Of course, Cai Wei liked being pelted with copper coins best.

She could use them to eat her fill, drink her fill, and dress warmly in the county. If she went home and got a beating, she'd just treat it like a massage.

If she got gold leaves or silver ingots, she wouldn't be able to spend them all quickly. Then she'd get beaten when she returned home, and the rest would be confiscated.

Cai Wei didn't want to let anyone else benefit, especially not her evil grandmother, whose preference for boys was so twisted it belonged in a latrine.

Gu Jincheng had made ruining his father his sole lifelong goal ever since he was born.

Unfortunately, after seven years of trying, his father was still completely unharmed, with an ever-growing estate and a higher official rank. Gu Jincheng, meanwhile, had been banished to the ancestral home and become a laughingstock in the capital.

After two gloomy years, Gu Jincheng decided to get back up where he had fallen and keep trying. But the moment he stepped outside, a beggar with a gap-toothed grin mocked him.

With no weapon to hand, Gu Jincheng yanked off his money pouch and hurled it at the beggar. "You're begging at the foot of a wall and still dare to mock me? I have enough money to beat a fool like you to death!"
