After Becoming the Household’s Mistress, She Devotes Herself to Making Money

Sheng Shuyun transmigrates into the novel Spoiled Concubine, becoming the cannon-fodder matriarch whose role is to highlight the tragic, beautiful romance between the hero and heroine.

From the start, she finds herself at the famous concubine-taking scene. Sheng Shuyun waves a hand grandly. "How can a dignified heir apparent stick to just one concubine? Keep taking them in."

She successfully sheds the reputation of being jealous and silences the Qin family’s endless gossip.

When a favored concubine tries to scheme her way into control of the household, Sheng Shuyun waves a hand grandly again. "There’s nothing worth fighting over in a poor marquis’s household that’s all show and no substance." She can have it. She can have all of it.

Every day, Sheng Shuyun appears to do nothing, but in truth she is plotting out a grand plan to make money.

"What do you mean Tingyu Restaurant? Rename it Wonderland, and put everyone through a month of pre-employment training."

Drawing on memories from her previous life, Sheng Shuyun writes up a set of service standards modeled on Haidilao, with high-end customers as the target market.

The moment they launch, they set the capital’s restaurant industry ablaze. In just half a month, they become the undisputed leader of the business.

"The plays at Tingyun Society are too old-fashioned, no different from those at any other theater troupe. Change them."

Overnight, Sheng Shuyun finds several storytellers to ghostwrite for her, then churns out new scripts.

The Matriarch’s Hard Life, The Maid’s Rise to the Top, After the Matriarch Gives Up, the Duke Kneels and Begs for Forgiveness.

She even bases a play on the romance between Qin Yi and Su Ling'er, personally writing The Favored Concubine Seduces Her Lord and Battles the Matriarch.

Her work is endlessly imitated, but never surpassed.

Thanks to her innovative business methods, the heroine makes a fortune, while the marquis’s household falls into chaos.

They skimp on the servants’ wages, buy fake jewelry, and sell off the family’s treasured paintings and calligraphy...

Qin Yi puts on a sheepish smile and says humbly, "My wife has always managed the household so well. Surely she’ll put the past behind us and help the marquis’s household through this difficult time."

Sheng Shuyun scoffs. "Get lost. Don’t bother me while I’m making money."
