Sheng Shuyun transmigrates into the novel "The Beloved Concubine" as the doomed matriarch, a mere foil for the tragic love between the hero and heroine. From the start, she’s faced with the famous concubine-taking scene. Sheng Shuyun waves a hand. “How can a noble heir be expected to keep just one concubine? Take another.” Just like that, she shakes off the reputation of being jealous and silences the Qin family’s endless gossip.
When a favored concubine tries to seize control of the household, Sheng Shuyun waves a hand again. “What’s there to fight over in a poor marquis’s household that’s all bark and no bite?” She can have it. Let her have everything.
On the surface, Sheng Shuyun spends her days lazing around. In reality, she’s plotting how to make money.
“What do you mean, the Tingyu Restaurant? Rename it Wonderland. Everyone gets a month of pre-opening service training.” Drawing on memories from her previous life, Sheng Shuyun creates a set of service standards modeled on Haidilao, focusing on high-end customers. As soon as they’re introduced, they set the capital’s restaurant scene ablaze. In just half a month, her restaurant becomes the industry leader.
“The plays at the Tingyun Opera House are too old-fashioned, no different from every other troupe. Change them.” Sheng Shuyun spends the night commissioning several storytellers to write new scripts.
"The Trials of a Household Matriarch", "The Rise of a Bedchamber Maid", and "The Matriarch Takes It Easy, and the Duke Kneels to Beg for Forgiveness" become hits. Sheng Shuyun even writes "The Favored Concubine Seduces the Master and Battles the Matriarch", inspired by Qin Yi and Su Ling’er’s love story. Everyone tries to imitate it, but no one can surpass it.
With her innovative business methods, the heroine makes a fortune, while the marquis’s household falls into chaos. The servants’ wages are withheld, fake jewelry is bought, and priceless paintings and calligraphy are sold off… Qin Yi puts on a smile and pleads humbly, “My lady has always managed the household so well. Surely you’ll put the past behind us and help the marquis’s household through this crisis.”
Sheng Shuyun sneers. “Get lost. Stop bothering me while I’m making money.”
