All of the Capital Laughs at Me, Yet My Husband Keeps My Portrait Hidden

After transmigrating into the wife of a powerful minister, all I want is to lie around and take it easy. But I unexpectedly get bound to the [System for Protecting a Carefree Life].

From the start, my icy husband is clinging to me and sobbing at a palace banquet!

[Ding! The Host’s “lie flat and do nothing” environment is under serious threat! Threat source: Husband’s persona collapse.]

[Emergency mission issued: Keep your husband in check and maintain your “virtuous matriarch” persona!]

[Mission reward: Private stash +10,000 taels, comfort level +99!]

For the reward, I’m forced to get to work, only to discover that the whole household is crawling with parasites trying to drain my private stash.

I open the System map, and the embezzlement evidence and flow of funds are laid out at a glance!

[Ding! S-rank parasite detected: Steward Fu. His embezzled funds have a 95% connection to political enemy Marquis Anyuan!]

I plant a foot on a stool and slap the account book in his face. My bargain-bin husband watches with stars in his eyes.

Pei Yan: “My wife is amazing!”

[System notification: Husband’s affection +50! Carefree life stability +30%!]

Later, the emperor bestows a princess as a secondary wife, hoping to seize control of the household accounts from me.

[S+ rank crisis! “Imperial-power-level” homewrecker detected! Final mission issued: Defend your position as matriarch and protect your carefree life!]

Me, eyes shining: “System, how many estates do I get as a reward this time?”
