Lin Lianzhi transmigrated from the modern world and stuck to her philosophy of raising children: spare the rod, spoil the child. After countless hardships, she raised seven exceptionally gifted youngsters.
It should have been time to travel, spend money, and build a career.
But her older brothers are unreliable: one is love-struck, one is a silly sweetheart, and one is face-blind and socially anxious. They’re all a headache!
Some of the younger ones have potential, but the fifth, a dignified prefect, uses her as bait to catch a fish, while the sixth wanders the martial world and is always poisoning people...
Every last one of the rest is a handful, too!
Still, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. And siblings should be able to walk their own paths!
If I just ignore them and keep my eyes shut, I can happily live out my days as a couch potato.
But then this guy suddenly shows up...
Ah!
He’s so handsome, and gentle and considerate. He’s a little clingy, but he has a sincere heart and is a resilient, brave young man.
In a flash,
I remember that child we eight siblings protected amid the chaos of war, adrift and enduring every hardship life could throw at him.
He said, “Sister, if I can bring peace to the land and let the people live in peace and prosperity, promise me we’ll never be parted, in this life or the next!”
Many years later,
people say the puppet emperor became an emperor for the ages because of his empress.
Only Lin Lianzhi knows that he truly cares for the world. All he wants is for everyone under the sun to have enough to eat. Nothing more.
