Madam Gu's Overnight Fame

She refused the top scholar, turned down a wealthy official, and declared war on arranged marriages—now she's building an empire on her own terms. When a fiercely independent woman meets ancient matchmaking customs, sparks fly and canes swing! Armed with wit sharper than her mother's rattan stick, she'll navigate scheming in-laws, protect her husband's pride, and prove that a self-made woman can conquer any era. Fast-paced, refreshing, and delightfully rebellious—this is one heroine who writes her own destiny.
