Become a wet nurse in a powerful household and earn the sky-high salary of ten taels a month!
Jiang Sixia, fresh out of confinement, says: “I’m in! If they’re paying, I’ll do it. I’d even be a stepmother, let alone a wet nurse!” After all, she has a child with an unknown father to raise.
But once she actually enters the household, she discovers the job isn’t quite so easy.
Because she is far too refined, Second Young Master Mu is suspicious and certain she is either a spy or scheming to marry into a powerful family.
Because she is so lovely and clever, Fourth Young Master Mu, a notorious womanizer, can’t keep his eyes off her.
Even the chief minister, The Outcast who stands second only to the emperor, and the eldest young master of the Mu family, coolly warns her not to be greedy or covet what she cannot have.
She ignores them all and sticks to her duties.
She excels at caring for babies, understanding medicine, helping with postpartum depression, and giving relationship advice... She’s so busy she can barely stop counting her money!
The babies in her care grow up healthy, chubby, and adorably spirited.
The eldest Miss Murong, whom she counsels, regains the bold spirit of a woman who refuses to be outdone by men: “Who says a woman can’t be ennobled? I’ll ride into battle and ask for the reins!” She treats Jiang Sixia like a sister!
The all-around wet nurse stuns the entire capital. Royal and noble households compete to hire her with hefty sums, someone even begs to be allowed to become a father, and the Crown Prince wants her as an adviser!
But the Murong family starts getting fiercely protective: “You can take our money or our official posts, but you can’t take our wet nurse!”
At last, the usually composed and aloof chief minister panics: “Mother of my child, a man’s virtue is the finest dowry. Please take responsibility.”
It's a drama with one female protagonist and multiple male protagonists! Very nice!!!!
