(Just got a rating, so it’ll go up) [Pure historical setting, not a power fantasy + household intrigue and plot-driven + love grows over time + many twists and planted clues + everyday observations of an heir]
After a sudden fall from grace, Lu Weixi sees her relatives’ true colors. To spread out the risks, she decides to personally raise an heir.
Having a child herself takes too long? Then she’ll adopt one!
But seeking a child with a huge reward might attract wolves and tigers. So Lu Weixi decides to sell herself as a mother!
She disguises herself as a beggar, sticks a straw tag in her hair, and offers herself for ten taels, hoping someone will buy her and take her home. The onlookers eagerly gather to laugh, but then a young man actually appears and buys her as his mother.
To assess her bargain son, Lu Weixi secretly causes trouble, turning the household upside down. But her son doesn’t get angry. He solves every problem and even treats her like an ancestral matriarch.
After observing him from every angle, Lu Weixi is delighted: Why go through labor when she can take the easy route? Good son, hurry home with Mother and inherit the family business!
Just as she is about to come clean to her bargain son, his long-missing uncle, Huo Yunzheng, suddenly returns in triumph.
Huo Yunzheng looks at the scheming “mother” his naive nephew bought, his hostile glare nearly sparking with fire.
Huo Yunzheng: Weren’t you a beggar? How do you know how to manage a household and run a business?
With no other choice, Lu Weixi tells Huo Yunzheng the truth, but he doesn’t believe her and insists she cooperate with his investigation. Yet the more he investigates, the more sparks fly between them.
The old flame burns brighter and brighter. Seeing things head in a strange direction, Lu Weixi simply takes her son and sneaks away in the night, but Huo Yunzheng stops her and pins her against the window, pleading:
“Why settle for a stepson when you can have your own? Why not give me a child, Sister-in-law?”
Content warning: The heroine has had previous partners; the hero has not.
Wow! I found another very nice book. The writing is concise and smooth, and the plot is not conventional and eye-catching. One sells herself to be a mother, and the other buys a mother for ten taels of silver. Hahaha, how can the author be so cute? One is a childless widow with great wealth, and the other is a poor little man with a prominent family and no father or mother... The plot is full of ups and downs, recommended 👍👍👍
There is also a majestic Dingbei General - Lord Marquis - Huo Yunzheng [smirking] What will happen?
The author is really whimsical, such a novel plot, one sells himself to beg for a son, and the other buys a mother for ten taels. Although it started from a transaction, but he gained a love between mother and child. It is not that a biological child is better than a biological child, nor is a biological mother better than a real mother. It is also sincerity for sincerity. The heroine also gained the love from her brother-in-law 👍 👍 👍
It's very interesting, and it doesn't drag on. I rarely review books when I read them, but I reviewed them carefully this time.
Well written. The writing is fluent and the plot is reasonable! Look!
It's very well written. Why don't you comment?
Very pretty. The image is very three-dimensional. The logic is strict and super beautiful👀The relationship between the heroine and her son is very warm
It looks good, come on, the author is great [plus one on the bookshelf]
