The Lucky Carp Bride Brings Blessings, and Her Unlucky Husband Becomes Chief Minister

Forced into servitude, Liu Ye’er only wants to keep her head down, save money, and enjoy her old age. The Minister’s residence is enormous, and the inner household is full of twists and turns. One careless mistake, and she’s sold again. Her dream of a peaceful retirement is shattered. After being passed from place to place, she falls ill and seems on the verge of dying for good. She thinks she sees an immortal in the sky. Instinctively, she grabs at this last glimmer of hope. “Please, save...me...” * Fu Lishan passed the entry-level imperial examination at the age of nine, and thought his life would be smooth sailing from then on. Instead, it was one setback after another. He couldn’t even pass the provincial exams. Every time, he fell ill or got injured during the examination.

His family became wealthy, and he rose to become Chief Grand Secretary. Fu Lishan: “Having you as my wife is a blessing earned over three lifetimes.”
