The King’s Favorite: An Unparalleled Merchant Consort

Cool and aloof, she has room in her heart for no one but the family she accepts. Yet her peerless beauty draws countless handsome men to her. Are they offering their hearts sincerely, or approaching her with ulterior motives?

Unfortunately, what she wants is neither love nor power, but money.

Love is a spell, passion is poison. The spell pierces the heart, the poison consumes the body!

As the mighty businesswoman slowly rotted away to ashes in the name of love, she told herself: There is no love in this world!

When she opened her eyes again, she was a merchant’s daughter with incomparable beauty but no business sense, jilted by her fiancé, humiliated, and driven to throw herself into a lake.

When that exact same face appeared before her, she smiled coldly. It was time to collect her debt.

You betrayed my heart and my love! I may no longer love you, but you still owe me, and you’ll have to pay it back. Since everything from my last life has vanished, you’ll repay me with interest in this one.

I don’t care who rules the throne or what schemes are being plotted at court, amid all the turmoil and intrigue. I’m only concerned with making money every day.

I don’t care if the merchant houses are struggling or the road ahead is difficult. I’ll build my vast business empire one stitch and one brick at a time, with single-minded dedication.

I don’t care what the world thinks or what place women hold in society. I’m going against the tide, rising above everyone and reaching the peak of wealth.

No road ahead? Then I’ll make one. A mountain in my way? Then I’ll flatten it.

When everyone laughs at her as a useless abandoned wife, divorced before she could even marry, who would guess that while she chatted and laughed, countless businesses had changed course, their ownership changing hands without a sound?

When everyone thinks a woman like her can only enter a convent and spend her life beside a lamp and Buddha, who could know how many extraordinary men in the world are waiting devotedly by her side?

When she becomes Southern Chu’s most notorious wastrel and the wife of Prince Carefree, how many nobles look at her with mocking eyes?

And yet, when the truth is revealed, everyone is shocked to discover that this beloved princess can shake three kingdoms with a single stomp. Even the wastrel Prince Carefree transforms into Southern Chu’s God of War, and he even has countless ties to Shui Qianliu, the most celebrated gentleman in the land.

When his exalted identity is revealed to the world and her wealth surpasses all others, what choice will they make when faced with their old affections and the eyes of millions?

Strong heroine VS strong hero. A powerful pair joins forces. Watch this husband-and-wife team look down on the shifting tides and gather all the wealth in the world.

[Xun Label] Quality updates guaranteed. Absolutely worth adding to your collection!!!

This is a one-on-one romance. The hero and heroine are pure in body and mind, there are no misunderstandings, and there’s no angst. If you like this, dive in without worry.

I’m no good at writing blurbs. Hiding my face and running away...

(Non-canon blurb)

Scene One:

“Ah Li, I had no choice but to write that divorce letter back then. Can you forgive me?” The man’s elegant, handsome face showed genuine remorse, though greed was hard to hide in his eyes.

“Lord Wen does make a fair point. Forgiveness is easy enough, but your desperate act back then caused my entire Chu family a great deal of emotional distress over the years. Before I forgive you, you’ll have to pay us back, with interest, for the emotional damages.” Her jade abacus clicked rapidly. Her lips curved into a smile. “That comes to eighteen million taels of silver.”

The man’s vision went black, and he collapsed.

Scene Two:

Amid the clash of weapons and warhorses, he stood in silver robes and golden armor, looking down at her like a celestial being.

“Why would you rather marry a wastrel than accept me?” he demanded. He was the most likely man to unite the realm, and he was willing to leave the empress’s seat empty for her. Yet she didn’t give him a second thought.

So imposing, so domineering. She only smiled faintly, her gaze calm as she gave him her answer. “The realm or me. Which will you choose?”

“Both,” he replied, his tone unyielding.

She smiled, seeing things clearly, then turned away, leaving him with a figure he could never catch again.

Scene Three:

“Qingqing, let me tell you: across the sea lie countless strange and wonderful things. When will you have time to leave the Central Plains with me and explore the magnificent lands beyond?”
