The Wicked Lady of a Noble House

She thought that transmigrating would mean a life of luxury, but when she woke up, her useless father had divorced his wife and taken another. Her maternal aunt and uncle, greedy for power, accepted the divorce papers and even plotted to seize her mother’s dowry. Her poor mother was as timid as a lamb, doing nothing but weeping. Her greedy fiancé didn’t stop at breaking off the engagement; he also wanted to take the family estate and keep it for himself.

Yun Shu, reborn like a phoenix from sinful flames, sneered. She had always been the one to bully others. How could she let them bully her? She believed only this: If the world deceives, slanders, bullies, and harms me, then I’ll slight, scorn, humiliate, and despise them, and kill them when the moment is right!

If the seductress outside wanted to become her stepmother, she would make sure the woman could spend her whole life as nothing more than a concubine.

If her marquis father was heartless and cruel, she would ruin his reputation and make him a laughingstock.

If her aunt and uncle were vain and greedy, she would make sure all their efforts came to nothing.

She would drive her greedy former fiancé and his whole family out to live in a ruined temple, begging for their food for the rest of their lives.

Her timid mother was weak and helpless, so Yun Shu would become her support, find her a better husband, and help her remarry in splendor.

With her extraordinary intelligence, she farmed fertile fields, opened shops, founded a company, established a bank, and traded overseas, setting off a grand commercial war.
