The Cold King's Plan to Win a Wife

She transmigrates into a farming family, only to become a spoiled, spendthrift shrew.

Her grandparents favor one child over another, while her uncles are lazy, addicted to gambling, and greedy for food.

Cheng Jinxiu thinks her path will be to reform her awful relatives, build a fortune, and lead them all to prosperity.

Who could have guessed that her origins would suddenly take a dramatic turn, transforming a poor farm girl into the legitimate daughter of a Duke's household, switched at birth?

Her birth mother is weak and useless, her scummy father dotes on his concubines and neglects his wife, her aunt and illegitimate half-sister are eyeing her covetously, and a fake man is out for blood.

"Xiu'er, if you marry me, I'll take care of all these demons and monsters for you. What do you say?" A certain man pondered for a moment, then offered his advice.

"If you want to marry me, you can't have concubines or bedchamber maids. You can't be attracted to men, and you can't..."

"Fine!" He agreed at once. First he'd catch her, and then they could discuss the rest at leisure.

"Then what are you waiting for? Shut the door and unleash the prince!"

As regent, he controls the court, keeps the young emperor in check, and wields power over all under heaven.

At long last, he meets the woman he loves and plans to marry her.

But he discovers that a few reckless fools are always getting in his way.
