The Midwife Marries a Charlatan, and the Whole Wretched Family Panics

Jiang Suisui, the renowned “Child-Giving Goddess” of the surrounding villages, was a midwife. To avoid being paired off in an absurd arranged marriage, she gritted her teeth and married Shen Buyu, the village’s “half-immortal,” a man whose only good feature was his face, though his predictions were always dead-on.

She thought two poor, ordinary people would simply make a life together. But the Shen family turned out to be a nest of “wonderful” relatives: her mother-in-law faked illnesses to gain sympathy, her sister-in-law was lazy and full of tricks, and her younger sister-in-law was so desperate to marry that she’d lost her mind. On her very first day in the house, Jiang Suisui flipped the table. With her unmatched midwifery skills and sharp tongue, she carved out a place for herself amid one domestic melodrama after another.

One spouse saw all the wealthy families’ dirty secrets in the inner quarters by delivering their babies, while the other hoodwinked the powerful with fortune-telling in the front hall. Jiang Suisui could tell who was really pregnant and who was faking it, while Shen Buyu figured out who the father was and who was being made a fool of. Working in perfect harmony, the two turned the wealthy families’ sordid feuds into stepping stones to wealth and success, while also training their own nest of unruly relatives into useful people who excelled in every way.

But in Su Wanwan’s eyes, he was a walking tonic, the ultimate all-purpose supplement! The thick, inescapable aura of “misfortune and evil energy” around him smelled better than any rare treasure!

From then on, Su Wanwan’s life goal changed from ascending to immortality to sticking close to the CEO, draining away his bad luck, and helping herself return to the top!
