[Complete and highly recommended] Lin Qingyun opened her eyes to find herself the Grand Madam of the illustrious Marquis of Wu's household in the Great Yan Dynasty.
One look at the state of her family sent her blood pressure soaring: her eldest grandson was a lovesick fool, ready to die for a courtesan; her granddaughter was a self-righteous white lotus, planning to steal the marquisate's secrets for an enemy hostage; and her daughter-in-law was a pushover who spent every day weeping in the Buddhist hall.
Someone else might have tried to reason with them, but Lin Qingyun preferred to let the family rules do the talking.
Her eldest grandson wanted to defy an arranged marriage for true love? She broke his leg and tossed him in the stables to feed the horses. “If your love is so great, what’s wrong with eating some horse manure?”
Her granddaughter wanted to elope with the hostage? Lin Qingyun packed her bags and kicked her out the door. “Don’t take the marquisate’s dowry. Go experience your noble love!”
The whole capital thought the Marquis of Wu’s household would fall apart under Lin Qingyun. But in less than three years, the grandson whose leg she broke had become a fearsome young general, while the granddaughter she’d kicked out came back in tears and passed the exam to become a female official.
Lin Qingyun leaned back in her grand chair, counting banknotes with a sigh. “It’s exhausting carrying this bunch of troublemakers. At least the retired regent next door is pretty handsome.”
The heroine is cool and the old lady is super domineering
Yes, the heroine is never idle for a chapter, she just does it vigorously and resolutely, which is very enjoyable to watch. In the last dozen or so chapters, basically every chapter is about cleaning up the house, stripping off clothes, and sending people away to do hard labor... It's a bit too much, weird... Overall, it's worth reading!
This book is very good to read. The old lady in the book is resolute and decisive in killing. It makes people feel relieved after reading it. It is a good book.
Cool article, written in one go, really refreshing to read
It feels good so far
It's very cool. It's so satisfying to watch the old lady torture the scumbag.
The female protagonist is strong and sassy, the male protagonist hands over a knife when she wants to kill someone, the male protagonist hands over evidence when trying to kill someone, the male protagonist who resists an enemy sends a black armored guard, and in the end the lovers finally get married, it's very enjoyable to watch 👍
It's so beautiful. I like the author's work very much.
It's well written. I like this decisiveness in time travel novels. It's very sassy.
Cool, fast paced, very cool
