Zhao Xiyun is the cannon-fodder first wife in a sweet, doting period-drama novel about a man who marries a woman with children.
The male lead is handsome and stern, broad-shouldered with a narrow waist and long legs, and destined for a bright future.
One day, Zhao Xiyun accidentally learns that she's a doomed first wife, at odds with her husband and estranged from her daughters.
The male lead's neighbor takes the opportunity to flaunt her wiles, cozy up to him, and live the good life.
Her two daughters grow resentful because of their stepmother's unfair treatment, driving a wedge between the sisters.
The elder daughter gains a reputation for being gloomy and eventually emigrates to the beautiful country.
The younger daughter is spoiled rotten and thinks her stepbrother is the most refined and gracious man in the world. Smitten, she tries to save him and ends up becoming his older brother's “sister-in-law.”
The stepmother's son and daughter, meanwhile, benefit from the male lead's connections and rise to success. One becomes Yangcheng's richest man, while the other becomes a famous singer.
Awake and back in time, Zhao Xiyun: ???
She immediately goes to join her husband at his army post!
Let the man love whoever he wants. She's keeping all the money and ration coupons in her own hands!
Lu Zhenxiao notices that ever since his wife joined him at the army post, she's become a different person. Not only has she stopped clinging to him, she's also getting prettier and devoting herself to her studies.
“Didn't we hear the head of the Lu regiment's wife was a country bumpkin, black and ugly, strong enough to carry a sow? How is she so beautiful?”
Zhao Xiyun: Ever heard of the village belle of Dahe Village?
“Have you heard? The head of the Lu regiment's wife is an amazing cook. The kids in the neighboring courtyard are practically drooling.”
Zhao Xiyun: Thanks for asking. It's all because I'm willing to spend money on good ingredients.
They used to burn with passion, but they were never of one heart.
Now they're perfectly in sync, moving together and enjoying every moment.
Zhao Xiyun, rubbing her sore back: How did I fall for his charms again?! I need to focus on my studies.
Finally, there is a time when there is a heroine in a novel who does not have a son. In the past, when reading novels from other eras, the heroine would always give birth to a son, and at the end of the day, she would have twins. The vicious female supporting character would have to give birth to a daughter and then be abused to contrast with the heroine's happy life. The heroine in this article really loves her daughter, not the kind who just carelessly pampers her.
It's very comfortable to watch. I look forward to the follow-up plot development.
Nice!! I look forward to the male protagonist finding his family!
Very nice, not on the black market
The writing is beautiful and the plot has ups and downs.
Not bad, just to pass the time I'm convinced. After watching it for a day today, the results showed that it took less than 30 minutes. . . . . . . . .
It's good to watch, but the ending is a bit sloppy and some things are left unconfirmed.
Very good book, recommended!
