[What? Kidnap a husband and get three kids thrown in?!]
[Slow-burn, farming, female doctor, perfumery, golden finger space, raising kids, doted on by everyone, family of bullies, lighthearted comedy]
The moment Lin Wanwan opens her eyes, she discovers she's become a chubby country girl in ancient times who can't read a single character.
She's lazy and greedy, and uses her bully father and younger brother's affection to throw her weight around the village.
No one for miles around will marry her. At long last, she tricks a rich catch into marrying her, only for him to run away on their wedding day!
In a rage, her bully of a father takes her bully of a brother to the main road and kidnaps a husband for her.
But... Dad, isn't there something a little off about the man you kidnapped? Why does he come with three little boys, too?
With several new mouths to feed, Lin Wanwan is kept busier than ever, all to avoid starving to death. Luckily, she has a portable space.
She's busy clearing land and farming, treating the sick and saving lives, making perfumes and rouge. She's also busy reforming her bully of a father and brother, slimming down and getting beautiful, growing medicinal herbs, and opening a restaurant that will become famous throughout the land...
The Lin family's life gets better and better, and the neighbors are all green with envy. The former village bully, Fatty Lin, has become so virtuous and clever, and so stunningly beautiful, that plenty of men have their eyes on her.
Just as the matchmaker prepares to persuade Lin Wanwan to divorce and remarry, she discovers that her former bargain husband has risen to become The Outcast, second only to the emperor.
Gu Xuanjing pulls his lovely wife into his arms and sends the matchmaker packing without a shred of mercy.
The chief minister, known as the "Cold-Faced Yama," nestles aggrievedly in Lin Wanwan's arms and pleads, "Wanwan, take my heart, take my life, just don't leave me!"
