The Emperor's Cunning Wife

(Slow burn romance, Cunning MC Update Sched: 1 chap per day) With one hundred million dollar bounty on Ning Lou's head, she was one of the most notorious criminal pursued by federal agents who swindled her way throughout the four continents. Living as an anonymous magnate in an inconspicuous villa, she was at the peak of her life. But who would have thought a trip to the bathroom ended it just like that? The most illogical part was, she transmigrated in the body of an unloved empress and in an era unknown in history. Caught in a web of heinous schemes inside the Imperial Harem, she must swindle her way to survival, while maintaining her distance from the so called 'Emperor'. However, this man was harder to trick than the old Buddhist monk. “Your Highness, the emperor sealed and barricaded all the secret passages!” “Your Highness, the emperor has replaced the eunuchs and maids!” “Your Highness, all the concubines suddenly fell ill, and the emperor said Your Highness will serve him tonight.” “Your Highness, the Phoenix Cloud Pavilion caught fire, so the emperor said Your Highness must sleep in his chamber tonight.” “Your Highness, where are you heading to?” “Don't stop me, I'll swindle my way to be the Emperor instead.” (Cover is not mine.
