[Reborn, Revenge, Feel-Good Story, Strong Female Lead, Business, Face-Slapping, The Ex's Regret]
In her previous life, Sheng Yunyi had loved Gu Hanzhou with all her heart. She tore up her betrothal contract for him, gave away her entire fortune, and went alone to the capital. Even when Gu Hanzhou insulted her, despised her, and treated her coldly, she remained devoted, hoping her sincere love would warm his heart.
What she didn't know was that Gu Hanzhou had long loved someone else. He married her only because he coveted her wealth. After squeezing every last bit of value from her, he heartlessly locked her in a dungeon, destroying her family and leaving her to die miserably, devoured by insects and rats.
Reborn, Sheng Yunyi returned to the day she confessed her feelings to Gu Hanzhou at her coming-of-age ceremony. This time, she came to her senses: men were just passing clouds, while money was the only true foundation in life!
She would punish the scumbag and make Gu Hanzhou pay for his past misdeeds; fight her aunt and crush those who had schemed against her; become an imperial merchant and make her mark in the world of business!
Who says a merchant's daughter is beneath everyone? She was determined to become the richest woman in the land! The noblewomen who had once looked down on her now set aside their pride to beg her to design jewelry and take appointments for her custom-made dresses. She had become a renowned legend in the capital, and everyone was eager to invite her into their homes.
Later, when Gu Hanzhou fell into ruin and finally regretted what he had done, he clutched the hem of her skirt and begged on his knees, "Yunyi, I'll trade my life for your forgiveness. Let's get married!"
Sheng Yunyi gave a cold smile and ground the man's finger bones beneath her heel. "Too late. Your life isn't worth a single coin!"
She turned and saw a usually aloof prince seething with jealousy. "Don't look at him. Choose me. I'll give you my life and my money."
