The Empress Wants to Become a Rich Woman

One month later.

Failure!

Lin Fan stared at his work in front of the computer desk, a look of frustration on his face.

How could this have happened…

Over the past month, his thoughts had flowed like a spring, his writing as if divinely inspired. His keyboard clattered non-stop as he revised repeatedly, finally accumulating a hundred thousand words in drafts.

But when he confidently submitted his work to editors on various websites, he was rejected by every single one!

The reasons were mostly similar: the story plot was too cliché, the theme didn't fit current trends, or the pacing was too slow in the beginning.

After a string of rejections, he couldn't help but doubt himself.

He hadn't accomplished anything all month, and his savings were nearly depleted…

The situation was not optimistic!

"Demon Supreme, what do you want for lunch? Should we order takeout?"

Long Yue's voice came from outside the living room. Lin Fan sighed softly and slowly walked out of the bedroom.

Long Yue was lying on the sofa, sipping cola through a straw, a large bag of chips in her arms. A variety show played on the TV in front of her.

Relying on her own memory and wisdom, and after a month of understanding this world, she had gradually become familiar with and adapted to Blue Star.

The Empress, who had been ignorant of the world upon arrival, could now skillfully use her phone to order takeout and shop online…

Over the past month, she had either spent her days lying in bed scrolling through short videos or lounging on the sofa binge-watching dramas.

Whether it was children's cartoons, Japanese or Korean dramas, movies, variety shows, or even the evening news, she watched them with great enjoyment. She often stayed up late watching dramas, only falling asleep reluctantly around three or four in the morning, and then sleeping until almost noon.

He had promised to provide food and lodging, so he had linked his family's card to her phone from the beginning. Whenever she wanted something to eat, she could just order it herself.

It was precisely because of this that her spending had depleted his savings faster than expected…

The four thousand yuan they had planned to make last two months only lasted one month...

Lin Fan stood at the bedroom door, staring at Long Yue with annoyance, but he couldn't bring himself to say anything.

She had only recently arrived on Blue Star and was slowly getting to know and integrate into this world. He had even encouraged her to watch more TV and learn more about this world. He just hadn't expected that she would integrate a little too well into this world, integrating perfectly…

Who would believe that this lazy woman, who spent her days lying around the house, only eating, drinking, and sleeping, was once an Empress of the Immortal Realm!

Now she happily watched TV and scrolled through her phone every day. Gone was the despair and unwillingness she had shown when she first arrived on Blue Star…

He hadn't heard her crying and wanting to go home for a month now…

"Demon Supreme, this Empress just discovered a new takeout restaurant. They have curry chicken cutlet with omelet rice! Want to try it together?"

Long Yue noticed Lin Fan standing at the bedroom door and excitedly held up her phone to show him.

Lin Fan picked up a stool and sat in front of her, resting his hands on the low table, fingers interlaced, his expression solemn.

"Empress, there's something I need to discuss with you."

"Hmm? What is it?"

Long Yue didn't pay much attention, still scrolling through takeout menus, thinking about what to eat for lunch.

"Bang!"

Lin Fan slammed his hands heavily on the low table, leaned forward, and got close to her, his face serious.

"Empress, our household is now in a financial deficit!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Long Yue's expression froze, and her fingers, which had been scrolling through takeout, stopped.

"You mean... we're running out of money?"

"That's right!"

Lin Fan nodded solemnly.

"Why are we out of money so soon?" Long Yue asked, confused.

"You should be asking yourself, Empress!"

Lin Fan's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he roared with exasperation.

It was bad enough that she didn't say anything, but hearing her ask that made him almost explode with anger.

Besides the three meals a day, she had also bought a lot of snacks and drinks online. When watching dramas at night, she liked to order late-night snacks and milk tea.

The takeout he hesitated to order, she would casually spend tens of yuan on!

With such extravagance, how could they not run out of money quickly!

"This, this can't be blamed on this Empress. Who knew the money in this world was so easily spent? It feels like this Empress hasn't bought much..."

Scolded by Lin Fan, Long Yue looked like a child who had made a mistake. She shyly poked her fingers together, glancing away and not daring to meet Lin Fan's gaze.

"Sigh, forget it. It's true that I can't really blame you."

Lin Fan sighed softly, trying to suppress the resentment in his heart, and sat back on the stool.

He was the one who said they would be provided with food and lodging, and he was the one who linked the family card. Long Yue had only just arrived in this world, and her previous identity was an Empress of the Immortal Realm. Naturally, she had no concept of money, so it truly wasn't her fault.

"I'm going out for a bit. You stay here and don't run around."

As Lin Fan got up to leave, Long Yue suddenly called out to him:

"Wait, Demon Supreme, you're going out to find a way to get money, right?"

"Yeah," Lin Fan admitted.

If they didn't find a way to get money soon, the two of them might be begging for scraps in a couple of days...

"Heh heh~ Demon Supreme, why don't you ask this Empress if she has any money first?"

Long Yue let out a couple of smug little hums, a sly, fox-like smile gracing her face. Compared to Lin Fan's worried expression, she was beaming with confidence and high spirits.

Lin Fan looked at her, puzzled, but still approached her with a flicker of hope.

"You have money?"

Long Yue smiled and shook her head.

"This Empress doesn't have money~"

Lin Fan: "..."

"Are you toying with me, Empress?"

Lin Fan felt utterly speechless. Disappointed, he turned to leave.

He shouldn't have expected anything from this woman...

Ever since he transmigrated to Blue Star, she had basically stayed at home with him. Besides the occasional trip to the supermarket, she had hardly gone out. Her days consisted of eating and sleeping. How could she possibly have money?

"While this Empress doesn't have money, Demon Supreme, don't forget who this Empress is!"

Long Yue stepped onto the sofa with both feet, hands on her hips, her face filled with proud confidence. She declared in a clear, proud voice:

"This Empress is the Empress of the Extreme Saint Heavenly Palace! The supreme being of the Immortal Realm!"

"...And?"

"This Empress doesn't have money in this world, but this Empress has valuable possessions!"

With that, Long Yue took a sapphire-blue gemstone from her pocket.

"This is an Azure Stone from the Immortal Realm, a priceless, rare treasure. It contains a strand of this Empress's immortal spiritual power. Cultivators who wear it will have their spirit protected, their soul guarded, and their lives preserved. Mortals who wear it will have their bodies nourished by immortal spirit, warding off all illnesses and extending their lifespan!"

"Just this one stone is enough to buy over ten cities in the mortal world! Hahaha~"

As she spoke, Long Yue couldn't help but laugh triumphantly towards the sky, as if the endless wealth of this world was beckoning to her.

Although she had lost all her spiritual power and couldn't open the immortal ring on her hand, thankfully she still had a few treasures on her for protection!

Lin Fan stood frozen, but his heart wasn't as optimistic as hers. He had a faint feeling that things might not go as smoothly as expected.

Would an immortal stone from the Immortal Realm still hold the same value in this world...?

"Demon Supreme, just wait to be kept by this Empress~"

"Don't worry, from now on, this Empress will allow you to eat whatever you want."

Long Yue clutched the Azure Stone in her hand, leaped off the sofa, and walked towards the door with her head held high and chest puffed out, full of high spirits.

After a month of understanding this world, she already knew that there were pawnshops, much like in ancient times. That's why she had never worried about money from the start.

As long as she sold this immortal stone, she would transform into one of the wealthiest individuals in this world!
