Tan Qingxu transmigrates from the soul of a 29-year-old modern woman abandoned because she couldn’t conceive into the body of a lovestruck 17-year-old legitimate daughter of the Minister of Works.
The original owner was infatuated with Pei Shuzhi, the aloof, jade-like official in the Ministry of Justice. She did one foolish thing after another and became a laughingstock.
Tan Qingxu looks at her youthful face in the mirror and decides to cut her losses
This time, she’ll live differently.
Yu Zheng, the dissolute heir whom the noble ladies of the capital go out of their way to avoid, becomes her new target.
The reason is simple: he’s handsome, comes from a good family, and, most importantly~~~looks easy to handle.
If she marries a carefree playboy who doesn’t meddle in her affairs, she can have as many children as she likes. Who could stop her?
And so the whole capital watches the Tan family young lady pull off an astonishing reversal:
She drops the aloof heartthrob and chases after the capital’s number-one playboy.
She tracks him down at the racecourse, blocks him at the bookshop, and confesses in front of everyone: “I just want to marry you.”
Yu Zheng narrows his eyes, sizing up the woman who has suddenly started clinging to him.
Is she playing hard to get, or does she have another motive?
He plays along and marries her, waiting to see when she’ll show her true colors.
But on their wedding night, she throws herself at him and demands they consummate the marriage.
He deliberately takes a concubine to test her, and she cheerfully nods. “Sure. Just make a schedule so you don’t wear yourself out.”
He pretends to be broke and miserable, and she lays out her dowry. “I’ll support you!”
Yu Zheng gradually starts to panic.
Could this woman actually… be serious?
Even more terrifying, he realizes that he, the heir who has played the dissolute playboy for ten years,
seems to have fallen for her for real, too.
And when he is caught up in court intrigue and his family faces disaster,
the little wife he thought only cared about “having a son”
steps in front of him, revealing a sharpness he has never seen before.
The author's writing is smooth, depicting the heroine's journey from transmigrating into the book to choosing and competing for a partner, as well as the care and concern shown by her family. It's all delicate and beautiful. When they learn that she has fallen for someone who is rumored to be a "spoiled rich kid," they don't immediately object.
I initially thought it was just a typical romance novel, with the male and female leads' relationship flowing gently and perfectly in sync. However, what moved me most in the book was the strong sense of patriotism and love for one's country. The plot truly evoked passion and brought tears to my eyes.
It's an exceptionally good read. The love between the male and female leads unfolds gradually and subtly, with every interaction feeling natural yet inexplicably intimate. Their married life is peaceful and uneventful. The author's writing is superb; the seemingly ordinary, flowing life feels extraordinary through the interactions between the leads.
The romance between the male and female leads develops naturally, like a gentle stream flowing slowly. The author portrays the female lead as intelligent, decisive, independent, mature, and understanding, making us fall for her even before the male lead. The author's writing style is like the warm sunshine after a snowfall in winter, making the reader feel incredibly soft and sweet.
It's great, I love watching it. Tan Qingxu is truly a female lead I like more and more the more I watch. She's clear-headed, independent, gentle yet resilient, calm in the face of adversity, sincere to others, and has incredibly positive values. She transmigrated from the modern world, yet lives a fulfilling and warm life. I love this kind of female lead so much.
I was deeply moved after reading this novel. While seemingly a romance, it transcends the typical framework of romance stories. The author's writing is delicate and moving, the narrative is well-paced, and the plot is full of twists and turns, suspenseful and captivating.
This scene was so heartwarming! The male and female leads complemented each other perfectly, and the male lead, instead of taking credit, proactively acknowledged the female lead's contributions, which was incredibly touching. Their seamless teamwork and mutual respect avoided the cliché of the male lead taking all the credit; their interactions were so comfortable to watch.
This is a rare book that makes you want to keep reading. The plot isn't full of dramatic ups and downs; it's peaceful and slice-of-life, yet it doesn't get boring. The writing is smooth. I think it might become a dark horse in the future! 👍😆 [Got it][Got it]
A pretty good book. The emotional interactions between the male and female leads in the early stages were quite compelling and atmospheric. The political intrigue was written in a warm way overall, perhaps because the emperor wasn't overly suspicious. However, it felt a bit too superficial, almost childish. The death of the male lead's brother was a real shame.
It's a very ordinary time-travel story, without any cheat codes or powerful figures. The protagonists possess their own knowledge and wisdom, and the romance between the male and female leads develops gradually and steadily, reflecting a very realistic life. There are no shortcuts or cheat codes; it's just a slow and steady progression.
