[A sharp-minded, decisive top × a bold, passionate bottom with top-notch cooking skills]
[Imperial exams and career progression + court intrigue + a powerful, devoted couple]
Lu Ceyuan was a modern professor of classical Chinese literature and an underground fighter on the side.
After he transmigrated, he became the poorest man in the village.
No problem. He had brains.
With a photographic memory, he could recite the Four Books and Five Classics backward.
And he had fists, too, perfect for dealing with anyone who refused to behave.
He took on vicious relatives, face-slapped local bullies and gentry, and crushed the imperial exams at every turn.
He thought that was the whole story, until a young man came after him and wouldn't let go.
Bai Zhiyi, the county magistrate's younger son, loved cooking and was especially good at pursuing him.
“Lu Ceyuan, I made you braised pork.”
“Lu Ceyuan, my brother says your essay is really good.”
“Lu Ceyuan, when exactly are you going to marry me?”
Later, Lu Ceyuan became the chief grand secretary, wielding power over the entire court.
Someone asked what he was proudest of in his life.
He glanced at Bai Zhiyi, busy in the kitchen. “Marrying him.”
Isn't this really a great heroine story? The younger sister almost has the same photographic memory as the male protagonist. And the male protagonist has traveled through time. In addition to fighting lawsuits, he only studies, chops firewood, and works for the family. Because the younger sister can't bear the money, he makes shoes for the younger sister. What else does the younger sister do besides cooking? She doesn't know how to make the cloth at home, and she won't mend the shoes when they are broken. Is there a girl whose toes leaked every day in ancient times? I went through this time to work for my younger sister, right? In the future, I want to pamper my younger sister like a little princess in the imperial examination. It's too late. After making the shoes, I feel that my skills are not good. I need to practice my skills more and make shoes for my sister. You two have just known each other for a few days. The sister has no hands and is still a fool. The sister doesn't know that the brother not only studies by himself but also takes time to teach her to read. He also has to do physical work. It is very hard and tiring. Is it natural to enjoy all this? Later, the male protagonist was hired by the uncle to break his legs. It didn't work. The male protagonist actually let him go and said that there would be no next time. The uncle also said the same thing at the county government last time. I came here to cry for poverty, and the male protagonist gave me 5 taels of silver because my sister couldn't bear it. If the male protagonist hadn't come here, would they have survived? (The original owner has been beaten to death by them) Why don't you pity your brother?
