[Historical romance + mutual devotion + sweet romance + imperial examinations + business + personal growth]
Modern office worker Qin Yiyi falls asleep and wakes up as a county magistrate’s daughter! Her father dotes on her, her mother loves her, her brothers take her side, and even the air feels carefree.
She plans to lie flat and laze around, but then a scholar who’s so poor he can barely scrape together a coin, yet impossibly handsome, steals her heart.
She quietly clears the way for him: grants to help poor students, higher wages, a doctor when he’s ill… She protects his dignity at every turn. He studies with all his might to become worthy of her, rising from an impoverished scholar all the way to third place in the palace examinations.
He Xiuwen: Being poor isn’t the scariest thing. The scariest thing is accepting that you’re doomed to stay that way.
Qin Yiyi: That vision, that attitude: he’s a natural investment. I have to bring him home!
He Xiuwen: When my name is on the imperial roll, I’ll give you a bridal procession stretching ten miles.
Qin Yiyi: Big words. Fine, I’ll wait and see what you’ll bring when you come to marry me.
…
Mutual devotion, one-on-one romance, with each shining in their own way. A gentle, slow-burn romance that stays sweet and heartwarming throughout. They solve problems instead of getting stuck in their own heads…
