I, the County Princess, Insist on Holding All the Power

Wonderful news! Lu Junran, granddaughter of Lu Lingjian, the retired Grand Master of the Palace and Acting Minister of Personnel, adoptive daughter of the Empress Dowager and the sole legitimate daughter of Princess Hesong, and the only younger sister of Censor Lu Linchen, Divine Strategy Army Judge Lu Zhiheng, Colonel Lu Jiyu, Martial Arts Alliance Leader Lu Wenzhou, and Imperial Library Collator Lu Xuci! She is set to officially take over as head of the family in three days! Today, she was informed that she has a marriage match from an exceptionally powerful family. The man is a sickly invalid! Her path to promotion, fortune, and her husband's early death looks brighter than ever! Lu Junran is positively delighted: Once my convenient husband dies, I'll bring my first love home! But then, the old flame she ruthlessly kicked out six months ago shows up at her door! Her old flame is peerless in martial arts. Lu Junran fawns over him: How about you think it over... and become my lover on the side? People say the eighth young lady of the Lu family is arrogant and domineering, a real little menace. Little do they know that she has the bearing of a phoenix and a dragon, and is destined by heaven. The moment she takes charge of the family, she begins her climb to the top. She protects her sisters-in-law, helps her sisters, takes on a wicked aunt, opens a school for women, starts a publishing house, and builds a secret network... She also helps her good-for-nothing younger brother turn over a new leaf and smooths the way for her older brothers' careers. The Lu family prospers more with every passing day! When the time is right, she makes her move and helps her husband reclaim the throne! In return, he offers her the empire as his bride price and devotes his life to her alone. Lu Junran blocks his path to the bed, all smug: At least you know what's good for you. Marrying me is the greatest fortune of your eight lifetimes! His starry eyes are tender: I wish to spend every day and night with you, and never let this life go to waste. In a sentence: The journey that brought the emperor and empress together
