CompletedDoes having a lot of money lead to a good fate, or does a good fate bring wealth? Qin Kour often wondered if she and that monstrous man had chosen the wrong questions when they were reincarnated, causing the King of Hell to entangle them in this life, driving them mad.
Qin Kour is rich, with a vast fortune. She controls the nation's granaries, stands above the salt merchants of the Lianghuai region, manipulates the copper mining industry, and overturns the cotton trade. In the words of her opponent: Qin Kour's money was earned from the bones of everyone's ancestors!
That monstrous man, however, possesses a destiny befitting an emperor. Unfortunately, he uses his fate every day to harm the common people, causing chaos from within the palace walls, killing his brothers, and destabilizing the court. In his father's words: 'It's my fault for not giving you the opportunity to rebel and usurp the throne, right?'
Then one day, the richest woman met the man with the greatest destiny. "Qin Kour, you were the first woman I slept with on my first time. Aren't you honored?" The man, with his chest half-exposed, smugly dangled his leg. "Your Highness, it was the first time this Pavilion Master spent money to sleep with a man, and I 'hired' you. Don't you feel incredibly proud?" The woman, with an orchid-like hand and a beguiling smile like fine porcelain.
Bang! The teacup shattered, and the table overturned. "Is there anyone who sleeps with someone without paying? Which scoundrel stole my spotlight?" the man exclaimed in shock and anger, roaring loudly. The woman smiled gently, "Think again!"
"Is it that icy-faced fellow who shamelessly clings to you? Or that bookish pretty boy?" The woman pulled out a blood-stained white silk from the bed and abruptly covered the man's devilishly handsome face. "You absolute idiot! I came with blood on my period, and you still dare to slander me! Tell me, who is smarter between us? Who will listen to whom from now on?"
"Qin Kour, are you setting a trap for me?!" the man struggled desperately. "Speak! Listen—to whom?!" the woman pinned him down, like catching a husband in a jar. "You! You! I'll listen to you! I'll listen to everything you say?!"
"That's more like it!" The woman let go. "Go! Get the court's account books. I want to see how much money you still owe me!" "Certainly! My esteemed wife, please wait a moment, this Crown Prince will go now!"
If I can't bankrupt the common people, I'll bankrupt you. If I can't kill you, I'll marry you! Is it a loss for you to love me? I marry a wife, not a concubine; I love genuinely, not conditionally. I'll give you the nation and the world; are you happy marrying me?
