A Fallen Lady Marries a Rugged Farmer

Zhong Lingxiu is the daughter of Zhong Huairen, the Grand Secretary of the capital, and the most favored candidate to become Crown Princess. But just three days before the selection, her father’s political enemies accuse him of secretly minting coins. That very day, her father denounces the emperor as incompetent and kills himself before the throne. When her mother hears the news, she takes her own life as well, leaving Zhong Lingxiu utterly alone. Having lost her parents and her chance to become Crown Princess, Zhong Lingxiu is consumed by grief and rage. She takes her own life on the way to exile. Just then, a modern woman with the same name, who also has cancer, takes over her body. - In her previous life, she suffered from ALS. After transmigrating and getting a new life in ancient times, she cherishes her body more than anything. It’s just that things have gone off the rails from the start. Other people transmigrate as princesses or legitimate daughters of noble families. How did she end up a disgraced official’s daughter, and even a bondservant? She meets Gu Ye, a farmhand who happens to be returning from tending his cattle, and he actually spends money to buy her and take her home. The daily life of Zhong Lingxiu, armed with a modern mindset, and Gu Ye’s family of farmhands is about to begin. - When Gu Ye’s father sees the official’s daughter his son has brought home, he sneers. “What a useless waste! What can this woman do? She can’t lift a finger or shoulder a load. We’d have to worship her like an ancestor. Is she going to bring our family good fortune?” Gu Ye blushes and says softly, “She’s lovely, fair-skinned and beautiful. I like her.” His father chases him for ten miles with a shoulder pole, beating him until he howls. A slice-of-life farming story with comedy and character growth, about the daily bickering between a rough farmhand’s family and an official’s daughter as they gradually fall in love and come to understand each other.
