The Empress Is Alluring and Tender, Keeping the Emperor Awake All Night

[Transmigration + household and palace intrigue + vying for favor] Overnight, Su Qingqing transmigrates and becomes a lowly concubine in Prince Rui’s household. A concubine? What a dead end. She takes one look at the handsome, wealthy prince and makes up her mind: she’ll win his favor, climb the ranks, and become someone important! When a concubine plots against her, she tells the prince straight away. When the secondary consort resents her, she gives her two hard slaps. The capital’s noblewomen who try to steal the prince from her, the concubines who plot to kill her... She knocks them all back down to size, and none of them come to a good end. After she’s done, she leans weakly into the prince’s arms, puts on a deeply devoted expression, and holds out her hand to him: “Your Highness, give me money!” She doesn’t just want to take down her enemies. Drawing on her modern-day know-how, she also plans to open her own dessert shop, run the business, and make a fortune. Prince Rui has never met a young woman like Su Qingqing. She is gentle and alluring, lively and clever, and every smile and frown of hers tugs at his heartstrings. Their story begins with love at first sight and ends with them growing old together. Years later, Su Qingqing becomes the most favored Imperial Noble Consort, holding the empire’s purse strings and enjoying the emperor’s undivided affection. Then one day, as usual, Noble Consort Su sneaks out of the palace to check on her shops in the capital, only to be caught red-handed by the emperor. “Where do you think you’re going?” Su Qingqing: “Can’t you see? I’m off to make money and leave you, you old has-been, behind while I travel the world.” Life is all about striving!
