Synopsis

(One-on-one romance, married first and falling in love later, chaotic daily life)

Sixteen years ago, the favored Qiao family and the newly appointed Hanlin scholar Huo family arranged a marriage.

Sixteen years later, the Huo family had risen to the rank of Minister, while the Qiao family had plummeted from trusted imperial confidants to complete paupers.

On the eve of the wedding, the Huo family’s second wife couldn’t bear to see her handsome, talented son marry a pauper’s daughter, so she substituted Huo Sui, the dissolute wastrel born to the first wife.

Meanwhile, the Qiao family wanted their eldest daughter, Qiao Jiayue, to have a good shot at being selected for the palace, so they gritted their teeth, knocked out their arrogant, domineering, mentally unstable third daughter, Qiao Jiuying, and bundled her into the bridal sedan.

Modern office worker Qiao Jiuying transmigrated and became the bride who’d been married off in someone else’s place, a woman with the same name.

She assumed that the Huo family’s second young master was a refined gentleman who wouldn’t want her, and that she’d be thrown out as soon as she arrived. Then she could return home without anyone batting an eye.

Unexpectedly, the Huo family had also switched grooms.

When the Huo and Qiao families learned the truth, both sides fell silent. They could only make the best of it and swallow their grievances.

Qiao Jiuying, meanwhile, took the original owner’s “mentally unstable” persona to its fullest after getting married.

When people called her ignorant, she said, “My literary talent may be lacking, but I do know a thing or two about fighting.”

When people mocked her for being uncouth, she said, “I keep my eyes open in every direction and my insults flying everywhere. The filthier the curses, the healthier I get.”

When she was told to supervise Huo Sui’s studies, she said, “There’s no need to work too hard. We all die in the end anyway.”

Huo Sui: “Can’t you say something nice for once?”

Qiao Jiuying: “Everyone else cares whether you climb fast or fly high. I’m different from them. I don’t have time to care about you.”

Later, Huo Sui held out the imperial decree granting her an official title. “Could you spare a little time to care about your husband?”

Historical Romance, Historical Romance, Historical Romance!!! You Have No Idea How Long It's Been Since I Read One 😂

I can’t find any good historical romances! Preferably not too long, no more than a little over a million words. It has to be good! Ideally, the heroine is reborn or transmigrates, gets revenge on the scumbags, and has a doting hero. One-on-one romance, both leads faithful to each other!!! No angst! A little angst at most! The hero must not have any other consorts.

This is a micro-ensemble piece, incorporating popular romance tropes like substitute marriage, pregnancy, and a lazy bum. The story is generally smooth and entertaining, but what bothers me is how overly comfortable the lives of the two main characters are. Especially the male lead's father, who has it all – face, substance, and no moral qualms.

Although the sisters married easily, it was a happy ending for everyone. A madwoman paired with a playboy—a perfect match in the eyes of the world—but deep down, they gradually got to know and love each other. The female lead's cousins might have minor frictions, but they were generally friendly, relying on and helping each other because of the shared fate of the family, not like enemies, which…

My goodness, this is incredibly well-written! The characters, especially the Second Master, are so vividly portrayed. The family dynamics within the Huo family, the protagonist's understanding of his father—the way he knows his father will always side with him if the Second Master says he's unwilling—are also fantastic.

It's really good, funny, not pathetic, no system, no cheat codes, but full of wisdom. Many parts are thought-provoking. Everyone should give it a thumbs up and raise the score so that more people can enjoy reading this book!

A hilarious and witty novel! 👍 The female lead is eccentric yet lucid 😎 She develops her strength while lying down and meets her match 😜 She encounters a seemingly spoiled but actually exceptionally talented male lead 😏 It's a classic case of mistaken identity and wrong marriage 💕 She conquers her father-in-law and drives away her mother-in-law with her unconventional approach, gaining a large…

I love reading this! Author, please update soon! Finally, a normal, satisfying story! It's so great that it's not just funny for the sake of being funny! I love stories where the male and female leads go crazy together, but so many of them just throw together random references or use rudeness as humor. This one is finally different!

Very good. Each chapter makes you want to read the next. The male and female leads' mental states match, and there are many humorous moments. The awakening of Second Master Huo Xun is truly touching and realistic. The stepmother's character is unique and refreshing; she clearly balances internal power struggles with defending against external enemies, befitting the wife of a second-rank official and a proper matriarch. Overall, it's good.

It's so good, so good! I never expected the author hadn't finished updating yet! Unbelievable! I really want more! I love the personalities of the male and female leads. Hmm, I'm looking forward to the storyline of the second young master of the Huo family, the female lead, and their romance.

It's really funny, much better than other drawn-out ancient family novels. The interactions between the male and female leads are also very nice 🤦. It's just that there aren't enough of them. Why isn't it a completed novel?
