[An imaginary ancient setting, with no transmigration, no rebirth, and no golden finger. A merchant's daughter and a concubine-born son. Love at first sight that deepens with time. Mostly family life and everyday routines, with no court politics or palace intrigue. Farming + gourmet food + beauty products + handicrafts]
Xie Mengxi, the youngest daughter of the Xie family, owners of a cosmetics shop in the capital, marries into the powerful Liang family as the wife of a concubine-born son. She thinks that if she is respectful, well-mannered, quiet, and obedient, she can live in peace. But from the day she marries, she finds herself at the mercy of her husband's principal wife, who makes life difficult for her.
Fortunately, although her husband has no great ambitions, he genuinely wants to protect her. Barely a month into their marriage, the couple hatch a plan to leave the capital and return to their hometown.
Just then, a letter arrives from their hometown of Youyang: a natural disaster has struck the countryside, bringing one calamity after another. A landslide has buried the clan ancestral hall, and torrential rain has caused most of their old family home to collapse.
The clan is in trouble and needs someone to return and help. The principal wife seizes the opportunity to drive them out of the capital.
The couple go along with it and finally return to their remote, impoverished hometown of Youyang.
The mountains are high and the waters clear, but the land is barren. The local clan members stand united, yet the harsh terrain keeps most of them mired in poverty.
Since they're here, they might as well make the best of it.
Looking out at the mountains and hills of their hometown, the couple work hand in hand, determined to turn this poor village into a paradise.
For themselves, their clan, and future generations, they will carve out a bright and flourishing future!
It's so beautiful. It's rare to see such daily and heartwarming articles. Please keep writing. The author is very grateful [laughs evilly]
The angle is very novel and the characters are also very unique. I hope to see subsequent updates.
Why is there no update? The writing is very good, but why no one comments.
