Su Wantang died suddenly from overwork and transmigrated into the body of an older concubine-born daughter in ancient times.
Her stepmother urged her to marry and presented her with four choices:
1. The new top graduate: He has a childhood sweetheart cousin back home. Marry him and you’ll be the “first wife.”
2. The wealthy merchant’s son: He has a crowd of wives and concubines, and his family has no morals.
3. The widowed official: His whole family is a nightmare. Marry him and you’ll be their servant.
4. The heir of the Marquis of Zhenbei: He has a three-year-old stepson, his wife doesn’t manage the household, and his elder sister-in-law runs it.
Su Wantang pulled out her abacus and clicked away. “Number four is perfect!”
No in-laws to serve, no household to manage, no children to bear!
Her husband is stationed at the border all year and comes home less than twice a year!
Once her stepson grows up and gets married, she can buy a house in Jiangnan and retire!
This isn’t marriage. It’s early retirement!
Su Wantang happily married into the family, thinking she’d spend the rest of her life lying flat
But her stepson turned out to be a little demon, with one face in public and another in private.
Her husband, who had promised not to come home, returned from the front early and fixed her with a cold stare.
Su Wantang: I just want to lie flat. Why is it so hard?
Later
Stepson: She’s my real mom! Anyone who messes with her will have to deal with me!
Husband: All of my private savings go to my wife.
Su Wantang: ...Well, this is nice.
[Cold-faced general × laid-back stepmother, both each other’s first, marriage before love + lighthearted sweet romance]
[The heroine will not have children]
It's okay, it's really heartwarming. There are no bad things or people, but can the author continue to update?
It's very warm and not messy, it feels good. Nowadays, many fast-paced novels are not very well written, or have logical flaws. This one is quite good.
