Life Among the Pond Flowers Is a Little Sweet

[No cookie-cutter tropes, no saintly protagonists, and neither lead is fickle...]

[Love that grows over time, both leads are each other's first and only, one-on-one romance, a slow and steady life, personal growth, healing, and helping each other thrive...]

[Farming + everyday family matters + daily life]

Chi Hua, who'd been called a jinx ever since she was little, somehow ended up married.

Wang Youcai had been conscripted into the army and was gone for years without a word. When he finally came home, not only had his fiancée disappeared, but his birth mother had also driven him out of the house. He kindly rescued a woman from Luoshui, only to find that she'd taken advantage of him. How could he let that stand? This woman, sweet and docile as a kitten, had the nerve to touch him, then think she could just walk away without a care. No way. He was a virgin, a grown man who couldn't just swallow such a huge loss.

[Her stepmother colluded with her family back home, planning to marry Chi Hua off to a brute in the neighboring village. But she was just one step too late, and had to cough up much of the money she'd pocketed, along with a hefty sum in compensation.]

[Wang Youcai: I knew this woman was no simple matter. Don't let her soft exterior fool you. She strikes fast, hard, and true. Otherwise, he wouldn't have kindly helped her back then and ended up losing his innocence and his virtue.]
