After My Engagement Was Broken Off, I Married Up

[A story about a shrewd woman repeatedly shearing the sheep, only to end up swallowed whole by one] On her wedding day, the groom elopes with his cousin, taking all his belongings with him. The second daughter of the prefectural governor’s Shen family is abandoned and disgraced, becoming the laughingstock of the entire city of Quzhou.

Shen Qingning, a forensic doctor and urban professional, wakes up to find her biological parents and clan relatives handing her a length of white silk and urging her to hang herself to protect the family’s reputation.

Shen Qingning smiles calmly. A bad start? No matter. Stay calm and don’t panic.

When she hears that the Third Prince has returned victorious from war, Shen Qingning tricks people into giving her food and money, then runs off. With the Third Prince’s influence, she makes it all the way to the capital without a hitch.

Shen Qingning: With a medical space, I can still make a great living treating the sick and saving lives. You have an illness, and I have the medicine!

A certain prince: Everyone in the capital knows I never take a loss. I’ve let you enjoy the benefits for so long for free. How about you repay me with yourself?
