The Lazy Little Wife and Her Doting Chief Minister

Synopsis of My Lazy Days After Transmigrating into a Book, Spoiled by the Chief Councillor

On the night after the college entrance exams ended, Jiang Yao and her roommate, Lu Manman, transmigrated into the novel they'd just finished reading, The Top Scholar's Little Bride.

Lu Manman thought she knew the plot inside out. She had become the original heroine's older sister, and schemed to fall into the water and steal the male lead, Shen Yanzhou. She was determined to take the path of a strong heroine's rise to success.

Jiang Yao, meanwhile, had become an anonymous passerby from the same village. She just wanted to keep a low profile and survive until the end.

The original heroine, Su Wanniang, refused to let her marriage be stolen. She secretly arranged to switch souls with Lu Manman. Lu Manman vanished without a trace, while Su Wanniang, under the identity of Su Manniang, married into a fine family in grand style.

The book's male lead, Shen Yanzhou, acted completely out of character. He wouldn't leave Jiang Yao alone and even wanted to take her as a concubine.

With nowhere else to turn, Jiang Yao married Shen Yun, a poor scholar rumored to have nothing to his name.

"If I have to marry someone, why not marry a handsome man? I married him for his looks!"

Only after the wedding did she realize something was off about her bargain husband. He earned the money, cooked the meals, and did all the housework. He lived by one principle: "A wife is meant to be cherished. Men fail because they don't spoil their wives enough."

Even stranger, he kept passing the imperial exams, eventually becoming the top scholar, then entering the Grand Secretariat, and finally rising to the post of Chief Councillor.

Jiang Yao sat at home, eating walnuts peeled by Shen Yun, and thought back to how she'd married him just to escape unwanted attention. Who could have guessed that she'd marry a man who made spoiling his wife his life's work?
