[The whole family gets their comeuppance + everyday family life + the male lead has been plotting for a long time + both leads have no prior romantic experience]
As the Wang family's daughter-in-law, Yuan Zhengxuan had lived apart from her husband for three years. Still, she managed the household so well that everything in the Wang family ran smoothly.
But on the very day the couple was supposed to reunite, her husband failed to come home. Instead, he sent someone back with an illegitimate son for her to raise.
Mother-in-law: “My dear son really knows how to get things done. He brought me a grandson without saying a word!”
The Wang family had always believed that Yuan Zhengxuan, the daughter of a capitalist, had married above her station. They were sure she would meekly raise their grandson for them.
But when Yuan Zhengxuan flung a divorce agreement in their faces, the Wang family was left dumbfounded.
When Yuan Zhengxuan ran the household, the Wang family had meat at every meal.
After she left, chaos reigned, and they could barely afford gruel made with wild vegetables.
The Wang family regretted it bitterly and shamelessly begged Yuan Zhengxuan to come back.
Yuan Zhengxuan: “A good horse never eats the grass behind it.”
A rugged man who had been longing for Yuan Zhengxuan for three years: “I hand all my money over to my wife. A man who listens to his wife is blessed. If she tells me to go east, I wouldn't dare go west.”
Yuan Zhengxuan: “This comrade has the right idea. Let's get married!”
