A career-focused heroine × a growth-minded hero: the story of how each of them comes into their own!
Lin Zhuxi transmigrates and becomes a young farmer’s daughter in Tianshui Village. Her father is hardworking and ambitious, her mother gentle and virtuous, and her little brother sweet and well-behaved. She could hardly ask for a better family. But life is unpredictable. Her father is killed, leaving the widow and children to be bullied by others. To survive, she starts a business making ornamental hairpins, and luckily, she has a golden finger to help her.
What do you mean unmarried women aren’t allowed to do business by law?
There’s a way around it: find an ally and pretend to marry. Once she opens her shop, the business gets on track. She hasn’t even had time to fall in love when her partner dies, leaving her a widow far too soon.
No one could have imagined that the Northern Ling Marquis, a jade-faced demon rumored to have murdered his father and elder brother, would force a widow to marry him!
What a poor woman.
In the courtyard, deft hands move, and lifelike hairpins take shape before everyone’s eyes. “That one’s mine! No, it’s mine!” The young women scramble for the hairpins.
“Ladies, I’ll be closing up for a month starting tomorrow. Once I reopen, there’ll be hairpins for everyone.”
At the news, a man outside crashes into the doorframe with a bang and starts protesting loudly!
Who could have guessed that the powerful Northern Ling Marquis was her supposedly long-dead husband?
After his identity is revealed, Mu Hesheng becomes especially careful, afraid his wife will run off if she gets angry. Every day he clings to her, gazing at her pitifully in hopes of winning a glance.
Lin Zhuxi sighs. What else can she do? She can only spoil him. After all, she’s soft-hearted.
From then on, light shines into the abyss. They had only meant to use each other, but somehow, they fell in love.
