The Legend of Pei Cheng

[Lighthearted]+ [One-on-one romance]+ [Sweet pampering]+ [Transmigration]+ [Top student]+ [Female lead rises through the ranks] Top student Pei Cheng’s soul transmigrated into an alternate dynasty, where she became a thirteen-year-old girl. When she met Chen Balang, the Marquis’s second legitimate son, she was starving and struggling to survive. Balang had both parents, but only his grandmother protected him. Even Gong Yu, a cousin who was merely staying with the family, was more favored than he was. After Pei Cheng entered the marquis’s residence as a maid, her boldness, attention to detail, and loyalty to her master helped her rise steadily through the household. Little by little, she restored Balang’s reputation, and he eventually became a great general. The two grew up together as childhood friends. They went from bickering fondly to falling for each other, but society would not accept their relationship. Pei Cheng refused to become his concubine. Balang mistakenly believed she liked Gong Yu, and countless obstacles arose between them. In the end, Pei Cheng left in sorrow. Balang set out to join the army. He fought bravely and won battle after battle, but disappeared during a campaign in which his forces were vastly outnumbered... At first, Chen Balang tossed Pei Cheng one or two silver taels, which became her “first pot of gold.” Later, the proud but hopeless student said, “Pei Cheng, you’re seriously asking me what one plus one is?” Pei Cheng smoothed his ruffled feathers. “If I didn’t give you questions like this, you wouldn’t get many points on the test.” Later still, he said, “How about becoming my concubine? I promise I’ll treat only you well.” After she left, he said, “Without her, why would I want a peaceful life or years as lovely as a song?” P.S. They are each other’s one and only, with a happy ending. It’s a sweet little romance! Balang’s disappearance leads to an unexpected adventure. How about a brief journey from ancient times to the modern day?
