The Heir’s Pursuit of the Golden Branch

【Completed】【Money-Grubbing, Lustful Commandery Princess VS Patient, Scheming Shizi】【Mutual Redemption】 : The most arrogant noble lady in the capital was none other than Zhao Qihuang, the legitimate daughter of the Yongan Marquis Manor. The most distinguished young master in the capital was Wei Lanzhou, the Shizi of the Duke of Zhenguo’s Estate. These two had vastly different personalities, clashing like fire and water. She loathed him, finding him a pretentious, deep-acting smiling tiger. He mocked her as a colorful phoenix wrapped in gold and jade, yet inferior to a pheasant. After the Duke’s Estate was raided and confiscated, she tossed an apricot pastry near the starving man’s feet, treating him like a dog. The blood-stained iron chains rattled. Wei Lanzhou knelt in the mud, his phoenix eyes terrifyingly dark: “Have you laughed enough?” “Not nearly enough.” She brought him back to the Marquis Manor, tormenting him in every way and training him as she pleased. But the wheel of fortune turned. A few years later, the Marquis Manor faced disaster. All the noblewomen in the capital covered their mouths and snickered, waiting to see how this former “noble lady” would fall from the “Phoenix Terrace.” Unexpectedly, Wei Lanzhou, who had climbed to the highest ranks of officialdom and regained his status, brought her back to his own estate and continued to dote on her. He spoke the cruelest words, yet he couldn’t bear to let her suffer the slightest grievance. Even if the world turned upside down, she remained the most arrogant noble lady in the capital. Synopsis Two: After her birth mother died, Zhao Qihuang, whose father had become like a stepfather, received a prophecy from a venerable monk: “If she prospers, the Empress prospers; if she perishes, the Empress perishes.” Because of this *Fate* (*Mìnggé*), Zhao Qihuang leaped from being a pitiful, ignored child to the capital’s most distinguished Commandery Princess. However, what made her also broke her: her *Fate*. A prophetic dream caused her to awaken completely. It turned out that her *Fate* was not just a cheat code, but a death warrant. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: The Heir’s Pursuit of the Golden Branch — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
