Qing Dynasty: Ninth Lord Holds a Grudge, but One Punch from His Wife Ends Her Woes

[Qing dynasty setting + farming + food + raising children + strong heroine + lighthearted comedy + unapologetic wish fulfillment]

Lin Qiuqiu transmigrates into the body of a woman from the Dong’e clan, facing the selection of imperial consorts from the start.

Everyone thinks she’s a delicate young lady, but in reality she’s immensely strong and has top-tier imperial-court cooking skills.

What’s more, she loves money more than life and only wants to lie flat and live like a lazy fish.

After she’s assigned in marriage to the Ninth Prince, Yinzhen, everyone waits for a spectacle. After all, the Ninth Prince loves money and holds grudges, and he’s also a “poisonous peach blossom.”

But then

Ninth Prince: “My wife took all my silver!”

Lin Qiuqiu: “Hmm?” (She casually bends a solid iron bar.)

Ninth Prince (immediately backing down): “Ahem, I mean, the money’s yours, and you can support me, too.”

Other princes fight tooth and nail for the throne.

At the Ninth Prince’s residence:

The Eighth Prince: “Ninth Brother, our grand undertaking…”

Lin Qiuqiu brings out a pot of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. “Shall we talk after we eat?”

The Tenth Prince: “Wow! Ninth Sister-in-law’s cooking smells amazing. Eighth Brother, I’m not rebelling anymore. I just want to eat!”

The Ninth Prince: “My wife is right. How can rebellion compare to making money? Let’s follow her south to Jiangnan and suppress bandits (and take their loot)!”

Over the past two years, Lin Qiuqiu has raised children with one hand and wielded a wok with the other, kicking assassins flying along the way. She’s turned a group of princes bent on causing trouble into a bunch of happy foodies living the life of wealthy idlers.
